 IBM Corp. and Taiwanese chip designer MediaTek Inc. announced they joined forces in developing a next-generation wireless chipsets relying on IBM's previous work on its millimeter-wave (mmWave) band. The chips would use a ultra-high 60GHz frequency, a free/unlicensed band which features a large amount of bandwidth and a large worldwide overlap.The new technology enables very fast data transfer. In fact, IBM officials say the technology is fast enough to transfer a 10G file in 5 seconds, compared with the 10 minutes needed with a current Wi-Fi link. This means uncompressed HD TV could be streamed wirelessly using a mmWave connection, making it ideal for such applications as the link between set top boxes and TVs. The IEEE 802.15.3c working group will eventually standardize the use of the 60GHz band. "This collaborative effort will enable consumers to wirelessly transfer large multimedia data files around their home and/or offices in seconds," said T.C. Chen, a vice president at science and technology at IBM Research.  News source: eFluxMedia
