According to the market the company SAR Insight & Consulting, research, points out that as many OEM and chipset suppliers aimed at 60 GHZ application to launch related products, 60 GHZ version of wi-fi technology is finally starting to show market move

Can.

Commonly referred to as the IEEE 802.11 AD WiGig standard is expected to become the indispensable advantage technology, especially for games and HD video streaming applications continues to increase demand for bandwidth. The technology is a Wireless Gigabit Alliance, launched in 2009, over the past few years, we have witnessed in the process of evolution from 802.11 its gradual change, at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies increased by 60 GHz frequencies in the portfolio of products.

At present, the 2.4 GHz frequency basically already saturated, while in 802.11 ac after launch, expected to 5 GHz frequency band will also tend to be saturated in the next 2-3 years. So, now the import operation in 60 GHz unlicensed ISM band wi-fi new agreement, it is the best opportunity to achieve innovation.

Back in 2009, when the user does not need to WiGig alliance is as high as 7 Gbit/s transmission speed, and can reduce cost and drive the application of new chipset also hasn't listed. Now, with WiGig launch a variety of business applications and products, including those from Qualcomm, Qualcomm) and Intel (Intel), and other industry giants such as courtesy and (all) is now affiliated with Lattice Semiconductor and Peraso Technologies, such as suppliers of components, accelerating the pace of progress.

4 k video streaming is the main application of WiGig technology. Between different device sends a capacity of up to magnitude GByte film, may only need less than 3 seconds, and between mobile devices and television can also be without delay and real-time transmit uncompressed high-definition video (HD). According to the survey of SAR, WiGig low after years of development, now is expected to achieve rapid growth (source: SAR Insight & Consulting)

Smartphones will occupy the most WiGig chip. China's smartphone supplier Letv (LeTV) at the beginning of this year has released the first WiGig chip smartphone, this stimulating Apple (Apple) and Samsung (Samsung), and other major smartphone on the market suppliers in the next few years also import WiGig for its product. In addition, new applications such as virtual reality (VR) will help drive the long-term development of the WiGig technology.

For other purposes, Dell (Dell), Intel and hewlett-packard (HP) in 2013, 2014 and 2014 respectively introduced WiGig base (docking station), allowing it to through high-speed wi-fi connection all peripheral devices. In addition, Peraso Technologies chip also brought a wireless backhaul function. Along with the industry to 5 g mobile era, is expected to have more suppliers to join.

IEEE 802.11 b standard is the key of open 2.4 GHz frequency band, and then on this basis to develop enhanced. 802.11 g and 11 n upgrade, etc. WiGig is expected to play a similar role in 60 GHz band, continue to strengthen its PHY and MAC layer protocols, in order to achieve higher data rate and better service.
