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? Will it explain everything then.
More speed than conventional WiFi
It is our daily bread: we hire symmetrical fiber 300Mbps but then to connect us to our wireless network we fail over 30Mbps of discharge. 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. Them standards today have many problems in homes, especially in areas urban where the saturation of networks wireless is huge. Interference, the walls and the own quality of the router are the enemies of our connection quality.
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 already is a reality get almost three times that speed with the new WiGig, and can get to multiply by 30 the maximum speed current in a future next. Then where is 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 yet, not can pass through walls, so in practice its operation is confined to a room in 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.
