Wireless Gigabit, commonly known as WiGig, is a technology standard designed to enable high-speed wireless connections between various devices such as consumer electronics, handheld devices, and personal computers. It operates using the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency spectrum, which allows for faster data transfer rates.
The development and specifications of WiGig have since been integrated into the broader IEEE 802.11 framework, specifically under the standard IEEE 802.11ad. This integration signifies the evolution and expansion of WiGig’s capabilities within the established and widely recognized IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standards. The adoption of WiGig under IEEE 802.11ad represents a significant step in advancing wireless technology, offering higher speeds and improved performance for a wide range of devices in personal and professional settings.
