Toshiba Preps 100Mbps Wireless LAN
Posted: 10th Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
Toshiba's European research and development division is planning to demonstrate its 100Mbps broadband wireless local area network (WLAN) technology next week:
The company will show off the technology at the ITU Telecom World 2003 conference in Geneva, which opens its doors on Monday.
Toshiba's system uses a technique called MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), which improves WLAN performance by utilising multiple channels simultaneously through multiple antennae. Spatial multiplexing schemes put the data back together again while improved signal processing boosts the network's range. Performance increases proportionally with the number of antennae built into the system. MIMO uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), the basis of 802.11g.
Toshiba, alas, isn't the first to achieve a 100Mbps WLAN. US wireless networking chip maker Airgo has already begun sampling chipsets that use a dual-antennae MIMO rig to offer 108Mbps.
