In an attempt of develop next generation wireless devices, the wireless giant WiGig has collaborated with Wi-Fi Alliance. The WiFi and WiGig alliance has set new benchmarks and is wooing the hardware manufactures.

In order to accelerate multi-gigabit wireless networking standards for use in consumer products, WiGig Alliance and Wi-Fi Alliance have planned to work together.

Though one format already claims most of the Wi-Fi chip manufacturers, the alliance are ready for future product launches that will take the market by storm.

The WiGig Alliance announced last year, the completion of its new unified wireless specification. The new specification provided 7 Gbps maximum transfer speeds.

It was noted by WiGig group noted that the specifications of the new device allows transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than 802.11n.

In the wake of the observation, Dell and Ciscio joined the WiGig Allaince and Apple is in the process of making a decision.

Considering the overwhelming response to the development, Both WiFi and WiGig plan to recruit D-Link, Linksys, and other networking companies to utilize their formats.

Gigabit Alliance President Dr. Ali Sadri said, “when we launched the WiGig Alliance in May, we announced our plan to complete the industry’s first unified 60 GHz specification by Q4 2009, and we are proud to deliver on this promise to the industry”.

Industry experts say that the new wireless standards promise significantly faster speeds but will have a shorter range. This will make ideal for consumers looking to stream content into the living room, PC, or around the house.
