A new wireless technology

American researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a new system of wireless transmission of data, which in the long term may be used for everyday communication and computing devices.
The proposed methodology is based on the use of radio waves in the frequency range 60 GHz ( in the United States, these frequencies are unlicensed ). During the experiments, scientists were able to transfer data wirelessly at speeds of 15 Gb / s over a distance of one meter. When reducing the bandwidth to 10 Gbit / s wireless range was two meters. Finally, reducing the speed to 5 Gb / s, the researchers were able to transfer data to crush feet.
It is assumed that the new technology will be used primarily to communicate with each other home entertainment components, or PCs. In this case, for example, it will be possible wireless transmission of high definition video from domestic player to a TV. In addition, the proposed system can be used in commercial stalls for the sale of multimedia materials.
However, while the timing of the commercialization of technology, scientists are silent. In the near future, the researchers intend to increase the data transfer speed while reducing power consumption. In addition, experts are going to maintain backward compatibility with current Wi-Fi networks.
It should be noted that currently under development and another standard for wireless data transfers between consumer devices. Technology WirelessHD, is expected to translate between the components of home entertainment audio and video stream of high quality uncompressed. Bandwidth connection WirelessHD theoretically be as high as 5 Gb / s range - 10 meters.
