Emerging Technology: 60 GHz WiGig Alliance Presentations
WiGig, the 60 GHz, super-high-speed wireless technology, is emerging as the short-range standard to link PC, tablets, smart phones, handheld gadgets, peripherals, displays and other devices together seamlessly at home and in the office. The WiGig alliance organization was formed in the USA a few years ago with momentum building quickly.Today, WiGig has an impressive list of members representing the industry’s top systems, chipmakers and consumer electronics manufacturers from around the world.The first plugfest was successfully conducted in California last year. Public interest in the technology has been very high with a great deal of press coverage.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the WiGig experts and learn about the up and coming 60 GHz wireless technology and find out what the future holds!
