The massive Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week served as a coming-out party for WiGig (802.11ad). The 60 GHz technology, which enables devices to communicate wirelessly at multi-gigabit speeds, was on display in a big way at CES, marking the beginning of what appears to be robust future for 802.11ad. Highlights were the release of the first tri-band reference design, combining 802.11ac Wi-Fi and 802.11ad WiGig, the first commercially available products, including the Dell Latitude 6430U Ultrabook, and multi-gigabit networking demos.
