Samsung has accelerated the Wi-Fi in 5 times – CNews.ru

Samsung Electronics has announced the successful development of technology capable of providing 5 times higher speed data transfer standard Wi-Fi in smartphones, tablets and routers.

The new technology is capable of speeds of up to 4.6 Gbit / s, which is 5 times higher compared to 866 Mbit / s – the maximum speed offered by modern consumer devices. The breakthrough means that the user will be able to download a movie 1 GB, spending is less than 3 seconds, while the streaming HD-content between devices without compression can be performed without any delay.

Samsung developed technology complies with the IEEE 802.11ad and uses a frequency range of 60 GHz as opposed to the 2.4 and 5 GHz in modern standards Wi-Fi. The specified frequency eliminates the interference of communication channels, regardless of how many devices use the same network, say in the press service of the company.

As a result, it allows you as close as possible to the peak values ​​of the velocity. With this in mind, the actual rate may be even up to 10 times higher than the actual rate that is available to users in the Wi-Fi networks at the moment, pointed to Samsung.

So far, the use of the frequency of 60 GHz was not possible on the commercial market, as millimeter waves propagating in the line of sight, bad passed through the wall and quickly lose their power, leading to difficulties in hiring and in the loss of data.

Samsung plans to begin sales of the first devices to support the new technology in the early 2015

Samsung engineers have coped with this problem, Designed specifically electronic components, modem and creating a beam antenna with a wide range. In addition, the company developed a technology management beam. To ensure the highest level of the signal, it changes the parameters of the system controller 3 thousand. Times per second. This allows you to instantly adjust the signal in the event of obstacles in his path.

«Samsung was able to overcome the technical difficulties that prevented the commercialization of 60-GHz technology,” – commented Kim Chang-Yong (Kim Chang Yong), the head of the research center of Samsung. He believes that this event will open up new prospects for the use of wireless technologies.

The Samsung expects that will be able to proceed with the sale of the first branded devices with the new technology in early 2015, the Company plans to equip its audio and video equipment, medical equipment, and telecommunications devices.

The developer also hopes that the new technology can be used in the Internet market things. The company noted that the range of 60 GHz, as well as 2.4 and 5 GHz, used in modern equipment does not require licensing.
