According to the latest news, with the popularity of smart phones, tablets and PCs, people are increasingly demanding Wi Fi. The introduction of new generation wireless technology seems to be imperative. Now there is news that a technical standard called "wigig" with a working frequency of 60GHz has come into being.
"Wigig" is a wireless technology with a working frequency of 60 GHz. Industry giants including apple, Microsoft and Sony have cooperated for several years for the launch of the new standard. A few products supporting the standard have been on the market. However, with the popularization of intelligent devices and the maturity of related technologies, wigig is expected to be popularized this year.
Wigig can transmit data faster, because it works at higher wireless frequency and can encode more information. The current 60 GHz protocol can support a maximum transmission rate of 7 GB / s, which is ten times faster than the maximum transmission rate of 802.11n. At present, the fastest Wi Fi protocol can reach a speed of 433mb / s, working at 5GHz. Most Wi Fi networks are still using slower protocols.
Unlike the spread of Wi Fi signals, wigig technology sends signal beams to connected devices through a tiny array of antennas. In this way, its disadvantages are obvious, that is, it is easily blocked by walls, ceilings and other objects. However, this has no impact on people's research and expectation for wigig technology, because only the ever-increasing network transmission speed can match the rapid update of electronic equipment.
