NTT DoCoMo's 4G Tests Hit 300Mbps 259
haunebu writes "'Your brand-spankin'-new 3G phone is nearing obsolesence: NTT DoCoMo reveals the results from a new 4G test system.' says TheFeature. While in a car moving at 30kph, DoCoMo engineers managed a peak throughput of 300Mbps and a sustained transfer rate of 135Mbps with their new variable spreading factor orthogonal frequency code division multiplexing (WSF-OFCDM) downstream technology. Who comes up with these names, and how does Japan manage to stay lightyears ahead of everyone else in wireless?"

I had nothing to do with this!
(And I don't do variable spreading of my factor. And certainly not in a car going 35 mph.)

Is it a typo, or maybe it's supposed to be "Wearable spreading factor"? The Japanese phones are pretty small, it's possible they've sewn it into a shirt collar or something?

Either that, or they found some ancient, advanced, lost wireless technology and got a patent on it.

Sure. And when Geordi reroutes warp power through the main EPS conduits so that the deflector can modulate the verteron pulse, I know exactly what he's doing, too -- even though the technology doesn't exist.
