High-speed data transfer "over the air"

German scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute (FIIS) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) set a record by deploying a wireless network with a transmission rate of 40 gigabits of data per second within a kilometer. Such an achievement would make high-speed Internet access available in the most remote corners of the planet and reduce the cost of installation of fiber optic networks.

Researchers have created a tiny radio transmitter the size of 4x1, 5 millimeters, the current in the range of 240 GHz. It involved semiconductor technology increases circuits on semiconductors III-V.
