Gi-Fi[1] or Gigabit Wireless is the world’s first transceiver integrated on a single chip that operates at 60GHz on the CMOS process.[2] It will allow wireless transfer of audio and video data at up to 5 gigabits per second, ten times the current maximum wireless transfer rate, at one-tenth the cost. NICTA researchers have chosen to develop this technology in the 57-64GHz unlicensed frequency band as the millimetre-wave range of the spectrum makes possible high component on-chip integration as well as allowing for the integration of very small high gain arrays. The available 7GHz of spectrum results in very high data rates, up to 5 gigabits per second to users within an indoor environment, usually within a range of 10 metres [2]
The new technology is set to predicted to revolutionise the way household gadgets talk to each other.[1]
It was developed by the Melbourne University-based laboratories of NICTA (National ICT Australia Limited), Australia’s Information and Communications Technology Research Centre of Excellence.[1]
