DEFINING THE FUTURE OF MULTI-GIGABIT mmWAVE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
presented by Ali Sadri, PhD.

The widespread availability and use of digital multimedia content has created a need for multi-gigabit wireless connectivity that current commercial standards cannot support. This has driven demand for a single standard that can support advanced applications such as wireless display and docking, as well as more established usages such as network access. In this talk, we introduce the Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) Alliance, which was formed to meet this need by establishing a unified specification for wireless communication at multi-gigabit speeds. See first-hand, the specifications designed to drive a global ecosystem of interoperable products, defining PHY, MAC, and protocol adaptation layers for wireless communication in 60 GHz frequency band.
