Wireless speeds reach 1 Gbps

It seems the wireless industry is quickly catching up to the wired network speeds. With the highest speeds offered by cable in mainstream is 1 Gbps in the newer network cards and such devices. Now the wireless industry has been able to catch up with those speeds with Quantenna announcing a wi-fi chipset that offers 1 Gbps speed. 

The firm Quantenna has produced the first fully integrated 802.11n solution with the Quantenna High Speed (QHS) chipset offering 4x4 MIMO, transmit beamforming, vector mesh routing and two or four concurrent bands. All of this enables better performance than ordinary 802.11n solution thereby having a link speed of upto 1 Gbps. This uses the 2.4 GHz band for legacy data and 5 GHz band for real-time bandwidth consuming applications like video conference.

All this is available in a single chipset and so can be used in compact devices. The security solutions supported by this chipset are WEP (although vulnerable can be useful for simple purposes), WPA and Radius.
