SIBEAM introduces new WIGIG 802.11ad solution

     SiBEAM has announced new SB6501 and SB6510 UltraGig network processors and RF transceivers. This new batch of products uses SiBEAM's proven, specialized millimeter wave technology to power the next generation of wireless networking products, 802.11ad (also known as WiGig), expanding the company's indoor gigabit wireless solutions. The WIGIG-compatible chip delivers multi-gigabit rates for ultra-fast data throughput and 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) video transmission for smartphones, tablet devices, ultrabooks, access points and wireless reception bases.

     The double increase of wireless data communication speed leads to poor wireless network communication, which also becomes the bottleneck of wireless network development. With a bandwidth of up to 7 Gb/ s, WiGig 802.11ad increases required network capacity in the unlicensed 60 GHz band and delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than current wireless network technologies to create a new generation of wireless connectivity.

     Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, said, "Consumers around the world need wireless ultra-fast connectivity to unlock the connectivity of their devices." From streaming media content to backing up files, enabling multi-gigabit data transfer for everyday applications will undoubtedly be the next big breakthrough in wireless communications. SiBEAM's new UltraGig product uses its proven 60 GHz technology to deliver the best high-speed data transmission and ultra-high-definition video data streaming, placing the company at the forefront of the millimeter wave product market."

     SiBEAM's UltraGig solution combines advanced beamforming technology with a unique antenna diversity structure that supports single/dual antenna array structures. On the one hand, antenna diversity can provide flexibility for RF installation, and on the other hand, it can enhance the RF robustness of the system. Its small size can support a wide range of product designs, which can be described as a representative solution based on energy saving, bandwidth and cost performance factors.

     Khurram Sheikh, president of SiBEAM, said: "With consumer demand for wireless data and video growing, 802.11ad in the 60GHz band can provide the network capacity needed to expand the currently overloaded 2.4GHz / 5GHz wireless network band. "Our new SB6501 and SB6510 UltraGig chips add to our current portfolio of millimeter wave expertise and products to meet multi-gigabit wireless data and video connectivity needs, further strengthening our dominant position in the market."
