Interconnects Devices and Computers on WiGig technology for High Speed Media Rich DataCommunications. Multi-gigabit wireless communications using the unlicensed 60 GHz spectrum.
The WiGig specification allows devices to communicate without wires at multi-gigabit speeds. It enables high performance wireless data, display and audio applications that supplement the capabilities of previous wireless LAN devices. WiGig tri-band enabled devices, which operate in the 2.4, 5 and 60 GHz bands, deliver data transfer rates up to 7 Gbit/s, about as fast as an 8-band 802.11ac transmission, and more than 11 times faster than the highest 802.11n rate, while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi devices.
Wireless Gigabit Alliance - WiGig 60 GHz
The 60 GHz signal cannot typically penetrate walls but can propagate off reflections from walls, ceilings, floors and objects using beamforming built into the WiGig system. When roaming away from the main room the protocol can switch to make use of the other lower bands at a much lower rate, both of which can propagate through wall
"The Wi-Fi Alliance and the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig Alliance) today announced a cooperation agreement for multi-gigabit wireless networking" - Wi-Fi & WiGig cooperate
WiGig Certified Multi-gigabit, low latency connectivity. Coming in 2016.
WiGig version 1.0 specification Includes data transmission rates up to 7 Gbps. Backward compatible with the
IEEE 802.11 standard.
The WiGig specification will allow devices to communicate without wires at multi-gigabit speeds. It enables high performance wireless data, display and audio applications that supplement the capabilities of today's wireless LAN devices.
WiGig gets spec and Alliance endorsement
"WiGig offers connections of up to 7Gb/sec, but operating at the top end of the dial, 60GHz, makes for very short range. WiGig will carry over about 10 meters in ideal conditions,….."
