WiGig 10-fold speed WiFi

WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.com - WiFi technology proved to reliably transmit data over the Internet wirelessly. Even higher speed. Although currently only a matter Mbps, or megabits per second, forward velocity can reach 10 times the current speed or scale Gbps (gigabits per second).

WiFi Alliance, which is a technology developer organization has joined the Wireless Gigabit Ethernet Alliance (WiGig) to reach the target earlier. One of the benefits of high speed data transmission that is able to replace the cables to transmit HD video formats from one device to another. For example, from Blu-ray player or camera directly to your TV.

"This technology may be available for another two years," said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director WiFi Alliance, as reported by AP, on Monday (5/10/2010). It was driven by the market demand of multimedia content which is now richer.

Currently, a number of the consortium's technology center shoulder to shoulder to develop similar technology. Previously, another group calling wirelessHD Consortium is also developing similar technologies WiGig. Many companies are incorporated in this second consortium, such as Samsung, Panasonic, and Toshiba.
