Japan demonstrates record 112 Gbps wireless transmission at 560 GHz
interestingengineering.com
Researchers have developed a new microcomb-driven terahertz (THz) wireless communication system that achieves data rates up to 112 Gbps.

    That’s not comparing similar technologies though. Modern wireless like 5G would be more comparable to fiber optic speeds, which are way faster than 5G. Even if that wasn’t the case fiber would still be much more reliable and power efficient.

      But I am comparing my options in a given price range (average for a household), which is likely the most common criteria. Fiber tends to be expensive and rarely pre-installed, which comes with high costs

        OK, but that’s not what this article is about and that’s not what I’m talking about either.

          My bad, I thought the article is talking about wireless network and the guy above was talking about wireless in comparison to cable, and so I gave my 2 cents, but apparently nothing I say is relevant

          EDIT: It was you not some other person, but my point is that I disagree with your initial statement about wireless never winning over fibre because when it comes down to real life, costs is everything and apparently no one cares about power used anymore. I believe in future the cables will be mostly used for data-centers and other specific needs.
