Lightning fast 60GHz Wifi

On October 12, Samsung announced that they have developed a new wireless connection technology called 60GHz Wifi that can transfer a 1GB movie in just 3 seconds.

Kim Chang Yong, head of a Samsung R&D center, said this Wifi technology will open up real opportunities for downloading uncompressed HD videos in real time. In fact, the actual speed of 60GHz Wifi is 10 times faster than the Wifi technology currently in use.

The fastest Wifi standard 802.11ac today uses the 5GHz band.

In fact, 60GHz Wifi technology has been mentioned by researchers for a long time. In mid-2011, BridgeWave Communications (USA) presented the concepts and specifications of this new technology.

Not only does it bring Gigabit networking standards from cable to Wifi, it is also capable of reaching speeds of multiple Gigabits per second. The infrastructure is cheap to deploy and adapts to dense urban areas as its BTS is tiny, able to be mounted on top of lampposts.

According to Bloomberg news agency (October 12), Samsung now announced that they have overcome the barriers to commercializing 60GHz Wifi technology. The Korean electronics company said that in early 2015, it will soon launch new generation devices supporting this super-fast Wifi technology.
