Wireless work at gigabit speeds.

A CMOS-chip, capable of speed wireless data transfer up to several gigabytes per second, reports Electronista. It operates at a frequency of 60 gigahertz.
The chip includes a wireless transmitter with built-in antenna. Power consumption of the wireless transmitter is one hundred milliwatts. The chip was developed in the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Institute of Technology).
The speed of data transmission chip depends on the distance. For example, if the transmitter and receiver, one-meter, the data transfer rate will be 15 gigabits per second. Data transfer rate is reduced to ten and five gigabytes with increasing distance of up to two and five meters, respectively.
It is expected that this chip will be widely used in consumer electronics. For example, it can replace the wires that connect the DVD-player with a TV or a computer with an external hard drive.
Judging by the small distance, which tested the transfer of data to new wireless chip, its closest competitor will be the technology Bluetooth. Currently, it operates at a frequency of 2.4 gigagertsa and allows data transfer up to one hundred meters. The maximum transfer rate - three megabita per second.
It was expected that in mid-2009, a new version of technology Bluetooth, which will increase the data transfer rate of a hundred times. It will work in conjunction with Wi-Fi networks, or broadband UWB (Ultra-Wideband).
