The main problem of most modern wireless data transmission technologies is the speed limit. Yes, for the average user, there is enough of the IEEE 802.11g protocol, not to mention IEEE 802.11n. But for large and not very large companies working with large amounts of data, this is clearly not enough. And for home users, this too may not be enough soon, judging by the trends in video quality improvement and, consequently, an increase in the amount of traffic transmitted through the “air”.
But this problem can be solved by a new technology proposed by Sony and Tokyo Tech. The joint development team has created a chip that can work with much greater efficiency than conventional wireless communication modules work. The data transfer rate using new chips increases up to 6 gigabits per second. In addition, the chips are quite energy efficient, so that they can be used not only in conventional PCs and laptops, but also mobile devices.

This high data transfer rate was made possible thanks to the work in the 60 GHz band (millimeter waves), as well as the use of the 802.15.3c standard. At the moment, only prototypes of chips are ready; it is unclear as to when all this will get practical implementation in modern mobile devices. But the potential of chips is very high. For example, this technology allows you to transfer uncompressed video from your tablet to TV without the slightest playback delays.
In general, with such a performance, you can completely forget about the wires. Probably, Sony will try as quickly as possible to use such technology in their own devices, the benefit, it is, where all this apply.
