GiFi faster than WiFi?
By 2009, GiFi will be available for mass production. With data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps within a 10 meter radius, GiFi is definitely faster than Wi-Fi.
The technology uses existing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology resulting into a 5mm square chip. The manufacturing cost of such a technology is surprisingly low and the researchers estimate it would only cost $10 to add the chip in electronic products. The chip needs only 2 watts of electricity when it is operated and comes with a 1mm antenna. GiFi operates in 60GHz frequency, which makes GiFi the lone user of that spectrum unlike WiFi which shares the same bands as cordless phones, Bluetooth, etc.
