Samsung makes Wi

Large scale Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung has announced it has made a breakthrough in Wi-Fi technology that could revolutionize wireless transmission speeds.


Samsung says that it's unlocked the secrets of 60 Ghz wireless technology that's five times faster than the speediest Wi-Fi connection commercially available anywhere in the world. 60 Ghz Wi-Fi would be fast enough to transfer a movie file 1 gigabyte in size in less than three seconds, the electronics developer says. The new technology is also fast enough to allow real-time streaming of high-definition content without having to resort to file compression. Samsung predicts that the new technological breakthrough has the potential for tearing down latency issues completely and could also erase the gap that exists between theoretical speed limits on wireless data transfer and actual speed.


Samsung research and development division representative Kim Chang Yong announced the news, remarking that the electronics manufacture has been successful in overcoming the barriers to taking 60 Ghz wireless data transfer technology into the commercial sector. Next generation devices from Samsung will feature the new ultra-fast Wi-Fi standard, the Samsung spokesman said, adding that there are even more implications for further advances in Wi-Fi technology that the development of 60 Ghz speeds has enabled.


Samsung has been doing its level best to remain relevant and profitable in a business environment where it is beset by competitors by all sides. This technological breakthrough could provide the impetus for Samsung to continue its growth and innovation while fighting back against new products like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus from rivals like Apple, especially as the latest iteration of the Samsung Galaxy Note goes up head-to-head with the similarly oversized iPhone 6 Plus. It could also help Samsung maintain market share in the Asia-Pacific sector, where an increasing number of Chinese smartphone manufacturers have flooded the market, giving the Korean company a run for its money in the face of dozens of new competitors.


According to industry reports, the new wireless technology is expected to be available in commercial applications sometime in 2015. Industry experts believe it will likely be marketed under the 802.11ad wireless protocol.
