During this year’s IDF event in San Francisco California, Intel has demonstrated several implementations of the new wireless 802.11ad technology and the main idea was that this will be the first implementation of a real wireless office.
Intel’s presentations clearly revealed that the technology is not built with a high range in mind and nor is it designed to support tens of connections like WirelessN currently does.
Instead, the 802.11ad standard or WirelessAD as we like to call it, has a modest 10 meters (30 feet) range and will sport a bandwidth wider than 1.5 Gigabits per second.
The frequency used is 60 Hz and the new devices will have no problem connecting and sustaining the transfer rate even if there are physical obstacles between the two communicating antennas.
The short range is quite useful as the devices in one room will likely not interfere much with the devices in the other rooms and your neighbor’s wireless network won’t mess up yours.
Intel is not alone in the WiGig group and companies like AMD, Broadcom, Cisco, Dell, Huwei, Marwell, Microsoft, NEC, Nvidia, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Samsung, Toshiba, Mediatek and Wilocity are also part of the team developing the new standard.
Seeing so many big names on the list, it’s quite clear now that this is an initiative with strong industry support that will likely be implemented much faster than WirelessN was back in the days.
We will still be left with the power cords, but the mouse cable, keyboard cable, multifunctional USB cable, external hard drive cable, audio cable, monitor cable and many other wires will finally be gone.
