Speaking of wireless... tri-band (N, ac, and WiGig) chipsets are already coming out, and the 60Ghz WiGig stuff is really sweet. The trick is, it's a *highly* directional signal that won't go through obstacles. It uses tiny antenna arrays and beam-forming to make links, but this means that multiple endpoints can communicate with an AP with essentially no interference with one another. A wired backbone with per-room WiGig links will be a really sweet connectivity solution when it's widely available and prices have dropped sufficiently. --Levi /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
