WiGig Spot technology from Panasonic allows downloading a movie in 10 seconds

Panasonic has introduced a new wireless technology WiGig Spot, capable of transmitting data at speeds 10 times higher than for a conventional wireless network. According to representatives of Panasonic, the technology will allow to download a film lasting 120 minutes in just 10 seconds. Currently, the technology is used to demonstrate the future of wireless communication options in Narita International Airport in Tokyo. Travelers can test the network with the help of special devices that support the technology necessary to connect to the WiGig Spot network.

Setting the network at the airport of Tokyo, according to the company, it is not only an opportunity to show people the future of technology, but also test the effectiveness of WiGig Spot, which uses a frequency of 60 GHz and, according to the researchers, is able to cover a small area network facilities. However, developers can work around this limitation, and by forming the directional signal technology have increased the area of ​​coverage.

WiGig The AP has three wireless module, which using technology of forming directional signal may cover an area of ​​about 120 degrees. The combination of the three modules provides possibility of 360-degree coverage, which allows users to connect to the network, regardless of how they stand in relation to the access point.
