Unstrung says NTTDoCoMo has conducted a successful trial of a 4G wireless technology that at present can do 1Gbps real-time packet transmission in the downlink at the moving speed of about 20km per hour. Of course in real life the speeds are going to be much lower.

  • Note, their achievement was to get 10 bps/Hz. This means to get 1 Gbps you need 100 MHz of spectrum. No one is going to have that much spectrum, in a usable band. any time soon. This is a worthwhile achievement, just don’t expect to see wireless mobile GigE any time soon.
