1 Gbps Infrared Communication

[aikidy]

this is FAKE how the mobile phone memory can't write at faster that 12 mb/s (the best ones)...so how does this phone writes data at 1 gbps and how the computer hard disk reads this fast since for max speed its around 80 mb/s ???

[gushhnet]

@aikidy That's the theoretical bandwidth of the system. Either way the data could be buffered in the receiver device and sent at maximum possible rate to the host at a later time. So there are no fakes, just limited mindsets.

Actully I do have one question. What is the max distance this new IrDA can transmit data?

[burtonmoore]

Why won't IrDA die? Yes, one 1Gbps, given, impressive. Here is what is bugging me. I notice you have alot of bulky equipment there. Cat6 (or 5e given the distance) hooked up to your docking station, I would assume. Now, why not just make a RJ-45 adapter that would hook up to the phones Mini-USB?

I like your imagination! Fasten your seatbelt because you will see this technology soon.  New specification from IrDA has gotten a lot of media coverage. It is called Giga-IR specification.

please do more research b4 saying anything is fake...

i'm not sure that's possible yet only in usb 3.0 no way can you send it over the slowest connection there is infared

Infrared communication comes along way since 90's. IrDA's new spec is called IrSimple (or IrSS)and over 50% of portable phones have it. Aquos TV and Fujifilm digital camera has IrSimple so that you can take a picture using a camera and shoot it to Aquos and there is a picture! It literally took less than a sec. The old stuff is gone!

What Hitachi phone is that???

[alphajoerg]

Wow, where can I buy that?

This is not yet available but we will see this product by the end of 2008. Stay tuned.

I saw the actual demonstration and it was really fast. I wish I have this feature in my cel.
