60GHz chips could achieve 2.5Gbps wireless speed, 100 times faster than WiFi!Wireless communication technology such as WiFi is definitely good as we don’t have to deal with those tangling wires. But its data transmission speed is still not up to satisfactory level, so we definitely need higher speed for the wireless data transmission. Perhaps, not far in the future,we’ll have the breakthrough in wireless communication technology. IBM Research and MediaTek are teaming up to develop a wireless transmission protocol that can transmit data more than 100 times faster than WiFi.

Basically, this new protocol will tap on the 60GHz spectrum that allows a wireless data transmission speed up to 2.5Gbps, which is 100 times faster than today’s WiFi technology that can deliver only in the range of 11Mbps to 54Mbps. The high speed wireless transmission will be dependent on some chips based on the 60GHz spectrum that could transfer at 10 gigabyte file wirelessly in about five seconds. SiBeam is the driving force behind the WirelessHD consortium and has been showing of the great 60GHz chips on TVs and will make a big push to the CES. IBM and MediaTrek are expecting to have something solid out in about three years’ time.
