  • nice .... really we need something fast technology in wireless . no request time out

  • an american university?

  • Finally, inovation!

  • @RadojeFrom bit rate can be the same or even slightly lower. But you will be doing more transactions for the same amount of time, so the throughput will be higher.

  • wow

  • that´s what we need.

    but whats about the bit rate? is it the same, or is it faster as well?

  • This is awesome same resources can be used to upgrade the technology...
