Samsung claims to have developed Wi-Fi technology
capable of transferring feature-length films between
mobile devices in a matter of seconds.
The South Korean tech firm says that the 60GHz Wi-Fi
will accelerate data transmission by five times compared
to current speeds offered by existing smartphones and
tablets.
"Samsung has successfully overcome the barriers to the
commercialisation of 60GHz millimetre-wave band Wi-Fi
technology, and looks forward to commercialising the
breakthrough technology," said Kim Chang Yongh, head
of research and development in Samsung's Digital Media
and Communications (DMC) department.
"New and innovative changes await Samsung's next-
generation devices, while new possibilities have been
opened up for the future development of Wi-Fi
technology."
To achieve such speeds, Samsung eliminated co-
channel interference, which occurs when more than one
device is using the same network. In doing so, the gap
between theoretical speeds and actual speeds is
removed.
Samsung also developed the world's first "micro beam-
forming control technology" that optimises the data
transmission process in less than 0.0003 seconds in
case of any changes to the communications
environment.
"By leveraging millimetre-wave circuit design and high
performance modem technologies and by developing
wide-coverage beam-forming antenna, Samsung was
able to successfully achieve the highest quality,
commercially viable 60GHz Wi-Fi technology," the firm
said in a statement.
Commercial application of such speeds are expected
across a range of devices, including audio visual and
medical devices, as well as telecommunications
equipment.
It could also have significant implications in the growing
'Internet of Things' space, whereby smart devices are
connected on a localised network.
Commercialisation of the technology is expected by
Samsung as early as 2015.
