Well, it seems now that we have only one year left to the end of traditional analog TV transmissions, the fight for faster wireless has reach new levels (of speed) in an effort to be the first to offer in-home HD distribution over wireless. And the first two to anounce breakthroughs are PULSE~LINK on December 13, 2007 with their PULSE~LINK CWAVE UWB CHIPSET which "showed 1.35 Gbps over-the-air signaling rate delivering 890 Mbps application layer throughput." and Marvell with "Industry's First 802.11n 450 Mbps Solution" on January 2, 2008. Also a new WirelessHD standard has been proposed "The new standard is called WirelessHD. It boasts a data speed of up to 4gbps over the 60GHz frequency band. If it works, it'll be faster than Bluetooth and indeed anything with a 10 metre indoor range." What more can i say ? i hope it will be sooner rather than later the moment i'll get rid of all cables from inside my home !

Update : Westinghouse & Pulse-Link's Wireless HDMI live @ CES : Pulse-Link and Westinghouse displayed their UWB-equipped wireless HDMI LCD, streaming 1080p goodness from an attached Blu-ray player. The JPEG2000 compression showed no trace of artifacting as the video passed three, shoot, maybe four feet without the aid of such antiquated devices as cables. Due for B2B applications soon, they still hope to make this available for consumers by year-end with a minimal cost premium over wired devices (read: a few hundred dollars), until then just check out these pics and dream of the future !

450Mb/s = 56.25MB/s. That's awesome.
