The Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) at the Georgia Institute of Technology has produced a CMOS chip capable of transmitting 60 GHz digital RF signals. This short-range new technology, if finalized, could offer many benefits, such as extremely fast wireless peer-to-peer connectivity in short ranges between virtually any device. That chip can even make the cables used nowadays for connection obsolete. Among the many potential 60 GHz applications are virtually wireless desktop-computer setups and data centers, wireless home DVD systems, in-store kiosks that transfer movies to handheld devices in seconds, and the potential to move gigabytes of photos or video from a camera to a PC almost instantly without cables. The single-chip CMOS component integrates a low-power radio with an embedded antenna, that draws only 100 milliwatts of power when operating, making it not only very small but extremely efficient too. GEDC researchers have already achieved very high data transfer rates that promise unprecedented short-range wireless speeds - 15 Gbps at a distance of 1 meter, 10 Gbps at 2 meters and 5 Gbps at 5 meters, enough for transmitting uncompressed 720p or 1080i video.
"We believe this new standard represents a major step forward," said Joy Laskar, a member of the Ecma 60 GHz standards committee and director of the Georgia Electronic Design Center ( GEDC ) at Georgia Tech. "Consumers could see products capable of ultra-fast short-range data transfer within two or three years." The specifications for this technology, which involves chips capable of sending RF signals in the 60 GHz range, are expected to be published as an ISO standard in 2009.

I know I'm fantasizing but imagine one of these chips on a motherboard and the need to only slide in future hdd in swap bays (power provided through rail like system).

Anyhow the possibilities are countless.

Here are some pictures from CES2009 a collegue of mine took (it's not the 60 GHz chip though. I'd guess it's 2.44 GHz):



The thing is that you still need a power cable to the speakers.

Similar to Logitechs 5450 speakers. I think they are now discontinued as i cant find them on their Euro website.

I wouldn't think it would be at 60Ghz.... rofl

The 60Ghz chip hasn't been standardized so why at CES 2009? It couldn't have been.

Unless you have a link.

That looks a little bigger. I guess I should have specified. :laugh:

I wonder what could have been used to scale how large that thing is.... unless you have a photo of that :D

I was thinking of the tiny module found in the news post.

Unless that module has a longer range and then it makes alot of sense.
