802.11n Chip
Quantenna launched a chip that supports the latest wi-fi standard, 802.11n. According to the wikipedia article, the 802.11n standard is set to be finalized in Nov 2009, and can support up to 600Mbps. Currently popular wi-fi chips can support 54Mbps. Even that is somewhat patchy due to the presense of physical obstacles likek walls.
