Next Generation Wireless Technologies

WiDi

WirelessHD (Wireless Display or WiDi) is an industry-led effort to define a specification for the next generation wireless digital network interface for wireless high-definition signal transmission forconsumer electronics products. The consortium currently has over 40 adopters; key members behind the specification include Broadcom, Intel, LG, Panasonic, NEC, Samsung, SiBEAM, Sony, Philipsand Toshiba. The founders intend the technology to be used for the CE devices, PCs, and portable devices alike.

The specification was finalized in January 2008

WiGig

The Wireless Gigabit Alliance^[1] (also known as the WiGig) is an organization promoting the adoption of multi-gigabit speed wireless communications technology operating over the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band.

The creation of WiGig was announced on May 7, 2009.^{[2][3][4][5][6]} The completed version 1.0 WiGig specification was announced in December 2009.^{[7][8][9][10][11]} In May 2010, WiGig announced the publication of its specification, the opening of its Adopter Program, and the liaison agreement with theWi-Fi Alliance to cooperate on the expansion of Wi-Fi technologies.^[12][13]

The WiGig specification will allow devices to communicate without wires at multi-gigabit speeds. It enables high performance wireless data, display and audio applications that supplement the capabilities of today's wireless LAN devices. WiGig tri-band enabled devices, which operate in the 2.4, 5 and 60 GHz bands, will deliver data transfer rates up to 7 Gbit/s, more than 10 times faster than the highest 802.11n rate while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi devices

WHDI

WHDI™ is the new wireless High Definition video standard that will change the way people use Audio/Video devices in the home. WHDI is the first and only standard that enables top-quality wireless uncompressed HD video delivery throughout the home, allowing consumers to connect any source in the home to any display.

WHDI Consortium was formed by Amimon, Hitachi, Motorola,Samsung, Sharp, Sony and LG Electronics.
