I'm not sure that anyone has beat anyone, yet. I have not read into anything that either company has deployed an operational system anywhere. Sounds like they're getting close.

re: TerrorBeam, anyone else think that AirFiber might've stolen a page from TB's "holographic optical element?"

or maybe not.

via today's El Lay Times:

"The 87-employee AirFiber was founded in May 1998 and builds on research conducted at UC San Diego. The OptiMesh network includes roof-mounted transceivers that resemble the "R2D2" robot from Star Wars movies, with adjustable pairs of lenses mounted into rotating turrets encased in a clear shield."
