Researchers Break Internet Speed Records 140
MosiMosi wrote to let us know about a new development on the Internet2 front. Researchers in Tokyo have advanced the speed of the network, breaking records twice in two days back in December of last year. "On Dec. 30 [researchers] sent data at 7.67 gigabits per second, using standard communications protocols. The next day, using modified protocols, the team broke the record again by sending data over the same 20,000-mile path at 9.08 Gbps. That likely represents the current network's final record because rules require a 10 percent improvement for recognition, a percentage that would bring the next record right at the Internet2's current theoretical limit of 10 Gbps."

Feed Trimble offers Juno ST GPS PDA to the mobile workforce (engadget.com)
Filed under: GPS, Handhelds, Wireless
Businesses and organizations looking to deploy location-aware handhelds to large numbers of personnel will be delighted to hear about Trimble's new Juno ST GPS / GIS PDA, which promises to be a low-cost solution that's equally at home behind a desk or in the field. Featuring a 300MHz processor running Windows Mobile 5, 'high-sensitivity' GPS receiver, WiFi, Bluetooth, and an SD slot, the 2.8-inch Juno ST claims to be especially skilled at locating a signal in so-called 'hostile environments,' and predictably works with the company's entire line of mapping and GIS software. The heralded low price has not been announced (it likely varies by volume), but you have until May to convince the boss that your team's Handspring Visors and fanny packs full of Springboard modules are getting a bit outdated.
