Samsung develops WiFi FIVE times faster than existing systems

This will allow HD video to be streamed from mobile to TV in real-time

Early attempts to use 60GHz band failed as they used millimetre waves

These waves travel by line-of-sight and have trouble penetrating walls

Samsung overcame this using 'wide-coverage beam-forming antennae'

The south Korean group said its technology will be available next year​

It's rare that your WiFi's actual speed lives up to the number on your router's box - but that could be about to change if Samsung has its way.
The South Korean company has developed a 60 GHz WiFi technology that it claims can send data five times faster than other electronics devices.
This will allow data transmission speeds of up to 575 megabytes (MB) per second – enough to transfer a 1GB movie between devices in less than three seconds.

Samsung announced yesterday that it
is working on developing a 60GHz
Wi-fi technology that will give
networking speeds of up to 4.6Gbps,
which is almost 3.5 times that of the
current fastest speeds seen on
wireless AC devices that’s 1.3Gbps on
the 5MHz band.

To put this into perspective, a 1GB
movie file will take less than three
seconds to be transferred between
devices whereas uncompressed HD
videos can be streamed from mobile
devices to TVs in real time. Note
however, that this does not mean,
you can download a 1GB file from
the web in 3 seconds.

At the moment, the 60GHz Wi-fi
technology is not fully adopted
because of poor data performance
and signal losses due to the inability
to penetrate objects. But according to
Samsung, its 802.11ad standard
60GHz Wi-fi technology maintains
maximum speeds by eliminating co-
channel interference irrespective of
the number of devices using the
same network. Samsung is also
planning to employ a millimetre-
wave circuit design and high
performance modem technologies to
achieve high quality commercially
viable 60GHz Wi-fi technology.
