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?

Specifications
Designed to address the specific requirements of various platforms, our 60 GHz technology will enable the broadest ecosystem of interoperable systems. It does not need to be retrofitted or adapted for future applications. The WiGig technology has also been adapted to coexist with millions of wireless devices already in use around the world.
For more information on WiGig’s specification, download our specification whitepaper (Chinese).
In order to become a member of WiGig Alliance and receive unlimited access to the organization’s specifications, please submit a completed membership application to admin@wigig.org. If your company is already a member, please contact us for further instructions.
Specification Highlights
The WiGig version 1.0 specification includes the following key elements:
- Supports data transmission rates up to 7 Gbps – more than 10x faster than the highest 802.11n rate
- Supplements and extends the 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and is backward compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard
- Physical layer enables both the low power and the high performance WiGig devices, guaranteeing interoperability and communication at gigabit rates
- Protocol adaptation layers are being developed to support specific system interfaces including data buses for PC peripherals and display interfaces for HDTVs, monitors and projectors
- Support for beamforming, enabling robust communication at distances beyond 10 meters
- Widely used advanced security and power management for WiGig devices

Wireless Gigabit Alliance
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.

Specification
The WiGig MAC and PHY Specification, Version 1.1 is specification-ready and includes the following capabilities:[12][14]
- Supports data transmission rates up to 7 Gbit/s – more than ten times faster than the highest 802.11n rate
- Supplements and extends the 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) layer and is backward compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard
- Physical layer enables low power and high performance WiGig devices, guaranteeing interoperability and communication at gigabit rates
- Protocol adaptation layers are being developed to support specific system interfaces including data buses for PC peripherals and display interfaces for HDTVs, monitors and projectors
- Support for beamforming, enabling robust communication at distances beyond 10 meters. The beams can move within the coverage area through modification of the transmission phase of individual antenna elements, which is called phase array antenna beamforming.
- Widely used advanced security and power management for WiGig devices
Application Specifications
On November 3, 2010, WiGig Alliance announced the feature complete WiGig version 1.0 A/V and I/O protocol adaptation layer (PAL) specifications.[12] The application specifications have been developed to support specific system interfaces including extensions for PC peripherals and display interfaces for HDTVs, monitors and projectors.
WiGig Display Extension
- Supports wireless transmission of audio/visual data
- Enables wireless DisplayPort and other display interfaces that include the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection 2.0 feature.
- Offers key A/V applications, such as the transmission of lightly compressed or uncompressed video from a computer or digital camera to an HDTV, monitor or projector
WiGig Bus Extension and WiGig Serial Extension. The WiGig Bus Extension (WBE) is now available to members.[15]
- 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.
