We can see that we are going from 24.25GHz, right up to 86GHz. At this frequencies our wavelengths are 1.2 cm to 0.3cm. Our antennas will thus be between 0.6 cm and 0.15 cm long. As we move up 86GHz our capacity for data will move from just 240Mbps to 8.6Gbps. This is from a single wireless stream, and, if we use multiple paths, such as with MIMO antennas, we could multiple up this even more.

Our Cat-5 cables will just seem so slow compared with this. The lower frequencies (24.25–27.5GHz) will be used for macro scale networks, and which provide a wide coverage (in the way our existing 4G networks do), but local networks will scale from small to ultra-small, and support higher frequencies. The higher the frequency we go, the more reliant that we are on line-of-sight communications, thus the higher frequencies will require more localised connections (and where signals can bounce off objects).

We could fix mobile security, you know. We don't, but we could

Earlier in the week I blogged about mobile banking security , and I said that in design terms it is best to assume that the internet is in the hands of your enemies. In case you think I was exaggerating… The thieves also provided “free” wireless connections in public places to secretly mine users’ personal information. From Gone in minutes: Chinese cybertheft gangs mine smartphones for bank card data | South China Morning Post Personally, I always use an SSL VPN when connected by wifi (even at home!) but I doubt that most people would ever go to this trouble or take the time to configure a VPN and such like. Anyway, the point is that the internet isn’t secure. And actually SMS isn’t much better, which is why it shouldn’t really be used for securing anything as important as home banking. The report also described how gangs stole mobile security codes – which banks automatically send to card holders’ registered mobile phones to verify online transactions – by using either a Trojan...
