IEEE802.11n proposal promises 500Mbit/s
A new baseline wireless networking specification proposes ultrafast data streams for wireless HDTV transmissions as well as high-density user environments for corporate and retail wireless networks.
Agere Systems is supporting a baseline wireless networking specification that establishes ultrafast data streams for wireless HDTV transmissions as well as high-density user environments for corporate and retail wireless networks This proposal defines the next generation of wireless networking referred to as the IEEE802.11n protocol to deliver a raw datarate of 500Mbit/s, roughly 10 times faster than today's wireless LANs

HDD pre-amp boasts fastest operation
High-performance, low-power pre-amplifier integrated circuit is specifically designed for use in enterprise and desktop computer hard disk drives.
Read channel saves power for handheld drives
Fully functional 90nm TrueStore read channel features the industry's lowest power consumption and highest performance within the market for handheld consumer electronics.
It also ensures broad interoperability with existing Wi-Fi standards and support for all major PC, consumer electronics and mobile platforms.
Target applications for the 802.11n standard fall into two basic groups: those requiring high-speed data transmissions plus strong quality of service (QoS), and those that need the equivalent of wired network performance for such high-density environments as a large enterprise or apartment complex.
