In Korea, the technology developed ultra-fast wireless

Scientists from the Korea Research Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications (ETRI) are developing a new wireless data technology that provides high-bandwidth communication channels.
According to Telecoms Korea, a new system called Giga-Fi. The technique is based on the use of radio waves in the frequency range 60 GHz. Data transfer rate can theoretically be up to 3 Gb / s with a range of up to ten meters. As noted by Lee Yoon Woo, one of the study participants, Giga-Fi technology allows the transmission of ten music files in MP3 format for just 0.1 seconds, while the content of broadcast a DVD from one device to another will take about 13 seconds.
In the coming year with the support of the Korean scientists researchers from other countries will further develop technology and improve the performance of transceivers. It is expected that the first equipment that supports the operation of wireless networks Giga-Fi, will appear at the end of next year. And by 2013, according to experts, the market for Giga-Fi devices can achieve volume of 2.2 billion dollars.
Because of the relatively small range of the system of Giga-Fi, is likely to be used primarily to exchange data between components of a home entertainment system. In this case, for example, it will be possible wireless transmission of high definition video from domestic player to a TV. Korea Research Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications has filed twelve patent applications for development related to technology, Giga-Fi.
By the way, studies on the use of radio waves in the frequency range 60 GHz data, and other organizations are. For example, the American experts from the Georgia Institute of Technology managed to transfer data wirelessly in the range of 60 GHz at a speed of 15 Gbit / s over a distance of one meter. However, while plans to commercialize this technology, scientists from the United States are silent.
