ZTE has joined the Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) Alliance as a contributor in a move to support the world’s most important short-range wireless standard.
WiGig technology development is paving the way for throughput up to 7 Gbits/sec, ten times faster than today's 802.11n devices. It will utilize the 60-GHz spectrum, a long way away from the crowded 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequencies used by the current generation of 802.11a/b/g/n devices.
Other recent WiGig Alliance joiners include the latest BOD member Huawei, and Allegro, LGE and Silicon Image as the contributors. “WiGig Alliance continues to gather additional industry momentum with product developments moving forward at great pace,” said Ali Sadri, WiGig Alliance president and chairman.
