Every wireless technology has underperformed its wired counterpart even if stable enough to consider using.]]>Dec 10th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
There, corrected myself just in time to be down-ranked.]]>Dec 10th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
Advantages of wires:
* Consistent throughput
* Higher throughput
* More secure
* More reliable
* Cheaper
* Lower power

Advantages of wireless:
* No wires

It's a pretty easy decision for me.]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
*Much easier to share with others (without being practically in the same room, negated for those with the foresight to wire their homes with ethernet)
*NO WIRES (meaning, moving about, going to another room: again for those that didn't wire their homes)]]>Dec 10th 2009 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Dec 10th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Dec 10th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Dec 10th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
true. contrary to the article, I was under the impression this was an extremely short range technology. For instance, transmitting wireless HD video from a STB to an HDTV. Guess I was wrong.]]>Dec 10th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Dec 10th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
But even if they ever get Powerline up to 1gbps it would STILL be the bottleneck of the whole system. This WiGig stuff sounds kind of like an ultra high bandwidth Bluetooth/IR type implementation -> Not really suitable to extend network coverage beyond the reach of wires, but literally just just to remove the hassle and unsightliness of the wires themselves.]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Powerline?

I think according to transmission line theory, at 60GHz the kind of wiring that you use to carry electricity doesn't even exist. Seriously, it'd be just as if the signal were propagating through air anyway. Even in the GHz range, if you want to send a signal a long way, you don't send it down a wire, you send it inside a long tube of metal (a waveguide); the signal goes through the air, the tube keeps it on the path you want.

I think to carry this you'd really need coax or a simulation of it like shielded twisted pair.]]>Dec 10th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/Dec 10th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/I wouldn't see why the two couldn't coexist in a house, if this new standard provides a longer range ]]>Dec 10th 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
personally i'll stick to the fiber channel over the wireless any day. i would use this for my laptop or any other portable device. other than that though ill be stickin to cables, esp if they are pushin 100Gbps]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/]]>Dec 10th 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
I'd guess that we'll see premium-level products sporting this at CES 2011 with another year or two before before things become properly affordable. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/ Enterprise solutions are currently out there and they rule.

60GHz WILL NOT GO THROUGH WALLS!!!!!!11!1!!

It is only useful to remove the wiring mess around the TV, and, maybe if you are lucky, reach the back speakers.]]>Dec 10th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wigig-alliance-completes-multi-gigabit-60ghz-wireless-specificat/
