Japanese Researchers Transmit 3Gbps Using Terahertz Frequencies 134
MrSeb writes "Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a new wireless transmission system that works above all currently regulated spectrum frequencies. The new system works at the range of 300GHz to 3THz (terahertz), which is the Far Infrared (FIR) frequencies of the infrared spectrum. That spectrum is currently totally unregulated by any country or standards organization in the world, making it ripe for development of new technologies. So far the Japanese researchers have transmitted data at 3Gbps, but in theory speeds of up to 100Gbps should be possible."

That doesn't really matter because you are stupid.
No you are... He/She is right. Turns out IR doesn't go through walls too well.
Works just fine if you up the transmitter power enough.
What are you, some sort of girly man?

Quickly! Shut off your monitor. It is bombarding you with radiation in the hundreds of terahertz!
