Gi-Fi makes file swapping easier

Wi-Fi must start to recognize its evolving competitor. New feather has been added to the wireless transmission service. Recent development has lead to the swapping of very large video and other files within seconds, by wireless devices operating over few meters in largely fallow and unlicensed higher frequency bands. World’s first transmitter-receiver is integrated on a single chip, operating at 60GHz and fabricated using the complementary metal oxide semiconductor process. The chip is about 5mm per side and has a minuscule antenna and uses the 60 GHz mm wave spectrum which is an unlicensed band of 7GHz between 57GHz and 64GHz. This elevated technology will allow the wireless transfer of audio and video files at rates up to 5 gigabits per seconds which is regarded to be ten times faster than the available technology. This fabrication which uses a 130nm CMOS process may eventually lead to the development of chips whose price will be as low as $10.

In indoor environment Gi-Fi device is expected to work over a distance of 10m. This capability ranks it ahead of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi on range basis. This towering technology will probably enable the customers to download a high definition movie from a KIOSK in a matter of seconds to a music player and could play it or store on a home server for future use within seconds.
