The WiGig Alliance and the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) have announced they have agreed to collaborate on developing a wireless version of DisplayPort that will operate in the 60 GHz band. The technology will support multi-gigabit connections, and is aimed at letting consumers and those ever-lauded IT professionals connect monitors, projectors, and HDTV displays to PCs and other video technology wirelessly, without the need… Read More

The WiGig Alliance has published a new multi-gigabit wireless communications specification that promises to take at least short-range Wi-Fi to multi-gigabit speeds, offering capacities of up to 7 Gbps, or about 10 times faster than existing Wi-Fi connections. The added capacity would be enough to push lossless high-definition video and audio around homes, potentially making WiGig the solution for wireless high-definition home theater… Read More
