Samsung has developed a 60 GHz WiFi technology that it claims can send data five times faster than other electronics devices. This will allow data transmission speeds of up to 575 megabytes (MB) per second – enough to transfer a 1GB movie between devices in less than three seconds


The group says previous attempts to use the 60GHz band for WiFi have failed because they used millimetre waves that travel by line-of-sight.

They have weak penetration properties, which means they often lose signal and data performance when they hit obstacles such as walls.

Using something known as a 'wide-coverage beam-forming antennae', Samsung says it has solved the speed issues that come with millimetre waves.



The group hopes to commercialise its 60 GHz WiFi technology as early as next year, in audio-visual systems, medical devices and mobile phones.

Yea it's pretty cool, but going from 2.4 to 5 you lose distance and penetration. I can't imagine how close you really need to be for this to work at a decent speed.
