The Wi-Fi Alliance has certified the 802.11ad standard, known as WiGig<\/strong><\/a>, which brings multi-vendor interoperability needed to proliferate WiGig devices.<\/p>\n

WiGig operates in the 60GHz spectrum band, which is less congested and complements existing Wi-Fi operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.<\/p>\n

WiGig enables multi-gigabit performance for a range of applications such as wireless docking, augmented and virtual reality, multimedia streaming, gaming, and networking applications.<\/p>\n

WiGig uses wider channels in 60GHz to transmit data efficiently at multi-gigabit per second speeds, with low latency, at distances of up to 10 metres.<\/p>\n

WiGig use beamforming to focus a directed signal between devices, eliminating interference from nearby devices and enabling high performance in dense 60GHz environments.<\/p>\n

Wider channels enable WiGig devices to achieve data rates of up to 8Gbps, allowing users to transfer large amounts of data in seconds.<\/p>\n

WiGig devices will range from smartphones, portable PCs, tablets, and access points, to home entertainment and consumer electronics.<\/p>\n

As part of the Wi-Fi ecosystem, WiGig delivers high levels of security and multi-band devices will interoperate with more than eight billion deployed Wi-Fi products.<\/p>\n

The first Wi-Fi Certified WiGig products which comprise the test bed for interoperability certification are:<\/p>\n
