United States : SAMSUNG develops 60ghz wifi capable of 46gbps [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Commercially viable 60 GHz millimeter-wave band Wi-Fi technology using the 802.11ad standard that allows data transmission speeds up to 4.6 Gbps, has been developed by Samsung. A 1 GB movie will take less than three seconds to transfer between devices at these speeds, and uncompressed HD videos can be streamed straight from mobile devices to TVs in real-time. Due to the path loss caused by walls, trees and even the atmosphere, the wireless communications at 60 GHz becomes challenging. These challenges are fulfilled by Samsung through its millimeter-wave circuit designs, high-performance modem technologies, and its wide-coverage-beam-forming antenna. Its micro beam-forming control technology can maximize a communications module in less than 333 microseconds to respond to any changes in the communications environment. Samsung also designed the globe's first method that enables multiple devices to connect concurrently to a network. Unlike existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi technologies, Samsung's 802.11ad standard 60 GHz Wi-Fi is able to sustain maximum speed by eliminating co-channel interference, in spite of of the number of devices using the same network, and thus remove the gap between theoretical and actual speeds. The 60 GHz band is available for use without a license across the globe. Samsung predicts to commercialize it as early as next year and intends to apply it to a huge variety of products, including audio/visual and medical devices as well as telecommunications gear. Samsung has successfully overcome the barriers to the commercialization of 60 GHz millimeter-wave band Wi-Fi technology, and looks forward to commercializing this breakthrough technology. New and innovative changes await Samsung s next-generation devices, while new possibilities have been opened up for the future development of Wi-Fi technology, Kim Chang Yong, Head of DMC R&D Center of Samsung Electronics, said.
