Wilocity and 60GHz WiGig

Meeting with Wilocity today has been very interesting.  Wilocity will be the first company to market with WiGig technology - a 60 GHz band wireless system.  Designed as a direct southbridge connection, the system uses PCIe lanes to provide necessary wireless bandwith, and I am told costs around the same ballpark as a normal WiFi 802.11n mini-PCIe wireless solution.  With it being compatible with mini-PCIe, Wilocity's Wil6100 chipset is capable of 4.5 Gbps peak wireless throughput (2.5 Gbps bidirectional).

How WiGig will offer 7Gbps speeds

Friday, 15 July 2011


The Wireless Gigabit Alliance recently announced that it has published the certification-ready 1.1 specification of its wireless system, and it includes some new capabilities, like a framework for video connectors. But given that even 5GHz WiFi is notorious for spotty reception mere feet from the offending wireless router, how will WiGig, which uses an incredible 60GHz frequency, ever manage to transmit information to devices that aren’t literally pressed up against the router?
First, a quick rundown of what WiGig is. WiGig is a specification for hardware that uses 60GHz frequencies to transmit up to 7 gigabits of data per second over the air; for comparison, 802.11n WiFi tops out at a few hundred megabits per second. In other words, a download of an HD episode of Archer on WiGig would take mere seconds, even without perfect reception. The system has been in development for some years now. The WiGig Alliance recently pegged the launch of capable devices for the first half of 2012.
WiGig is sufficiently advanced to have its own IEEE 802.11 standard, coded as 802.11ad. Using it at the time of release will require some new hardware both to send and receive signal, similar to when 5GHz started to make its way onto the market. Unlike 5GHz WiFi, though, WiGig’s design includes methods for avoiding the decay problems that higher-frequency transmissions usually have.
Beamforming uses directional antennas to focus a signal into a concentrated “beam.”
Wireless Gigabit Alliance

To overcome signal decay, WiGig uses a process called adaptive beamforming (it’s not the first or only system to do so, but is heavily reliant on it). With a combination of physical antennas on the devices and algorithms to tune the signal, WiGig devices effectively shoot their signals back and forth at each other in a narrow, targeted beam.
Antennas in the devices—say, a router—each have a broad reception area for a router to see devices in. When a device that wants to use the 60GHz connection is brought into that area, it begins communicating with the antennas to fine tune the antenna’s signal to maximize connection speed.
The antennas do this by adjusting both the amplitudes and the phase shifts of their broadcasted waves. The reception of the signal is optimized by minimizing different kinds of problems: the error between the antenna’s output and the expected signal, for example, or the signal-to-interference ratio.
When the phase shifts and amplitudes of multiple sources of waves are tweaked to work together and combine their pings in the right way, they create “lobes” of excellent reception areas. An unfortunate result of the lobes is that there are also null areas outside the lobes where there is no coverage at all, which doesn’t bode well for WiGig’s ability to blanket a particular area with simultaneous reception—at least, not without an army of routers and antennas.

WiGig Alliance Logo

The Wireless Gigabit Alliance[1] (also known as the WiGig) is an organization promoting the adoption of multi-gigabit speed wireless communications technology operating over the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band.

The creation of WiGig was announced on May 7, 2009.[2][3][4][5][6] The completed version 1.0 WiGig specification was announced in December 2009.[7][8][9][10][11] In May 2010, WiGig announced the publication of its specification, the opening of its Adopter Program, and the liaison agreement with the Wi-Fi Alliance to cooperate on the expansion of Wi-Fi technologies.[12][13] In June 2011, WiGig announced the release of its certification-ready version 1.1 specification.[12]

The WiGig specification will allow devices to communicate without wires at multi-gigabit speeds. It enables high performance wireless data, display and audio applications that supplement the capabilities of today’s wireless LAN devices. WiGig tri-band enabled devices, which operate in the 2.4, 5 and 60 GHz bands, will deliver data transfer rates up to 7 Gbit/s, about seven times faster than 802.11ac, and ten times faster than the highest 802.11n rate, while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi devices.

  • Define high-performance wireless implementations of widely used computer interfaces over 60 GHz
  • Enable multi-gigabit wireless connectivity between any two devices, such as connection to storage and other high-speed peripherals

Liaisons

On May 10, 2010, the Wi-Fi Alliance and WiGig Alliance announced a cooperation agreement for multi-gigabit wireless networking. The Wi-Fi Alliance and the WiGig Alliance will share technology specifications for the development of a next-generation Wi-Fi Alliance certification program supporting Wi-Fi operation in the 60 GHz frequency band.[16][17][18]

On November 3, 2010, the WiGig Alliance and the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) announced a liaison to define the next generation standard wireless display technology. VESA and WiGig Alliance have agreed to share technology specifications to develop multi-gigabit wireless DisplayPort capabilities and create a certification program for wireless DisplayPort products.[19]

On June 28, 2011, the WiGig Alliance announced becoming an Adopter of HDMI Licensing, LLC to further provide WiGig Display Extension (WDE) support for HDMI mapping. WDE is the only 60 GHz specification that defines a framework to connect to DisplayPort monitors and HDMI TVs, enabling applications such as the wireless transmission of compressed or uncompressed video.[12][20]

Competition

WiGig competes with Wireless HD in some applications. Wireless HD transmits in the same 60 GHz band used by WiGig.
