[Korea.net News, Science / Tech, February 28 2008] Korean researchers develop ultra-fast data transfer system

Researchers said Thursday (Feb. 28) they have developed an ultra-high-speed wireless data transfer technology that can transfer a full-length movie in only 2 seconds.

The "Giga-Fi" system, built by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) after a year of research, is capable of sending 3 gigabits per second (Gbps) worth of data.

Within a 10-meter radius of a data transfer source, the information transfer speed is equivalent to that of broadband lines.
