High speed wifi aka WiGig gigaom.com

<The Wi-Fi Alliance has teamed up with a group founded by the big chip vendors to promote the standard wireless transfer of HD video across short distances at 7 Gbps, crushing the potential success of several startups that had been hoping to create standards of their own.

The going was always going to be tough for chipmakers hoping to use the relatively untouched spectrum at 60 GHz or even Wi-Fi’s spectrum at 5 GHZ to deliver wireless HD video through standards known as WirelessHD or WHDI. But once the WiGig Alliance was formed last year by Intel, Broadcom and Atheros, the future for startups such as SiBeam and Amimon dimmed considerably.

And now the WiGig Alliance has created a triple-threat in the form of a unified standard that means folks will be able to buy devices containing chips that can tune to Wi-Fi in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands as well as the WiGig standard at 60 GHz. That means your game console or iPad could next year have a chip that sends data at Wi-Fi speeds most of the time, but could jump up to WiGig speeds when it detects a need and a corresponding chip inside a television or other video screen. ...continued...>
