Having completed its first specification, WiGig Alliance is all set with tri-band a Wi-Fi router, which is possible as early as 2010. The speed of the WiGig is expected to be supremely fast because of the improvements that have been made during the development of the specification. The speed of 7 Gbits/s makes it almost ten times faster than 802.11n. The frequency of the spectrum used by the WiGig protocol is much faster than ones used in most of the modern current devices.
The implementation of frequencies and technologies in a router or card means faster speed throughput at short distances. Mark Grodzinsky who is the board director of the WiGig Alliance is quite optimistic about the product and expects some early products in 12 to 18 months. The 60-Ghz technology used in the tri band routers is being considered for wireless HDMI as well as Wi-Fi networking. The technology also uses multiple antennas for beam forming and such specification would mean low power and portable versions of the technology being developed by the manufacturers.
The WiGig is also expected to develop its very own compatibility testing programs early next year. AMD and Nvidia have been opted for CPU and graphics makers and the latter is of the opinion that its video and graphic technology will play a crucial role in the WiGig technology which would enable wireless displays. Devang Sachdev, the technology marketing manger at Nvidia feels that Nvidia recognizes the prevalent market trend towards Wi-Fi interfaces and their area of operation seems aligned with WiGig’s work.
