Wi-Fi WiGig - 7 Gbps Wireless Speed

Wi-Fi is a general and widely use technology these days. With Fi-Fi you can easily make home networking also it make possible free Internet on-the-go. Now this technology is about to get a huge update in speed. The WiGig standard has been finalized and the two organizations behind it, the Wi-Fi Alliance and WiGig Alliance, has published it. WiGig operates at 60 GHz and enables connections of up to 7 Gbps. WiGig will work at 60 GHz, but only over short distances.

WiGig will work over very small distances. WiGig operates at a very high frequency, way above the current 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz slices of the spectrum Wi-Fi uses. This comes with several advantages and disadvantages. Transmitting at 60 GHz means that a lot of data can be pushed through. A bandwidth of 7 Gbps can satisfy just about anything, BluRay movies could easily be streamed at this speed. It’s also a practical choice, the frequency spectrum up to 5 GHz is very crowded and securing a slice of it is practically impossible.

The main drawback is its only support a very short distance. At this frequency, things don’t move very far. With line-of-sight, communications work at a few meters, maybe enough to get you across a room. In reality, the working distance will be much smaller, and you can forget about getting through walls. Its not possible for WiGig to replace your Internet Wi-Fi router soon, but it may replace all the cables that litter the back of computers, TVs, set-top boxes, and so on. 

The Wi-Fi Alliance has also been developing a standard at 60 GHz called IEEE 802.11AD, but has indicated that WiGig looks to be complementary to WiFi, especially since Intel, Broadcom and Atheros all have plans to integrate the technology into WiFi chipsets. The addition of the standard would enable users to switch to WiGig for more speed. 

If you willing to try it, you've to wait for it. It'll take couple of years while the standard may be approved and you've to wait a lot to see this technology in market.
