The future is wireless, you like to like to whom. The cables are destined to disappear, are very limiting, uncomfortable and unsightly, and it technology wireless each time evolves more for trying to offer us the same stability, speed and quality that them connections with cable. One of these new technologies that will soon to improve our WiFi connections at home is the so-called WiGig (Wireless Gigabit). But arrives with major limitations, that can that they prevent its implementation in households. In what is, what are its advantages and disadvantages? You explain everything then.
More speed than conventional WiFi
Is the bread our of every day: hire 300Mbps of fiber symmetrical but then to the connect us to our network WiFi not got over 30Mbps of download. If we approach to the router all improvement, but when we go to the bedroom or the kitchen just we can see Netflix in decent quality. The current standards have many problems in homes, especially in urban areas where the saturation of wireless networks is enormous. Them interference, the walls and the own quality of the router are the enemies of the quality of our connection.
The new WiGig arrives to offer a connection speed of up to 8 Gbps, but is expected to be reached in the medium term to 80 or even 100Gbps. To make us an idea, the standard current that greater speed us offers is the 802. 11ac that currently have all the devices Apple with which arrived until them 3Gbps in the best of them cases. This means that get almost three times that speed with the new WiGig is already a reality, and we can get to multiply by 30 maximum current speed in the near future. Where is then the problem?
Very limited range: 10 meters
This is the limiting factor of this new technology and which can end of condemning it to fail: just it has a range of 10 metres. To give you an idea is like a conventional here Bluetooth connection. Worse still, not can cross walls, by what in the practice its operation is limited to a room of the House.
This means that in every room we have a Repeater that created the network to this area. That Yes, devices that connect will enjoy maximum connection, but investment will have to be initially large to get “connected” a normal three-bedroom flat.
