mickq writes "The Age reports that Melbourne scientists have built and demonstrated a tiny 5mm per side CMOS chips that can transmit 5Gbps over short distances — about 10m — featuring a tiny 1mm antenna, a power amp that is only a few microns wide, and a low 2watt power consumption . "GiFi" appears set to revolutionise short distance data transmission, and transmits in the relatively uncrowded 60GHz range. Best of all, the chip is only about a year away from public release, and will only cost around AUD$10 (US$9.20) to produce."
