Samsung said it has developed new Wi-Fi technology that can transmit data at a rate five times faster than today’s consumer wi-fi gear.
The breakthrough is based on 60GHz spectrum and removes the barrier between theoretical maximum speeds and actual maximum speeds.
Most of today’s Wi-Fi uses 2.5GHz and 5.0GHz band. Samsung claims its technology can push a 1GB movie file between devices in three seconds, or stream it in real time.
Samsung expects to begin adding 60GHz Wi-Fi technology to a range of its products next year.
