Wi-Fi at 60GHz Will Be 10 Times Faster

Almost every computer user nowadays knows what Wi-Fi is: a wireless networking standard that offers data transfer speeds at (ideally) several hundred megabits per second.

Currently, Wi-Fi operates in the 2.4GHz an 5GHz frequency bands. However, the Wi-Fi Alliance and the Wireless Gigabit Alliance have reached an agreement to set up standards for Wi-Fi to operate in the previously unclaimed 60 GHz frequency band, which would offer up to ten times faster data transfer speeds.

”The 60-GHz band allows for significant boost in performance, so we are talking about speeds in the gigabits per second range,” says the executive director of the Wi-Fi Alliance, Edgar Figueroa.
