 INTRODUCTION

• Gi - Fi or Gigabit Wireless is the world’s first

transceiver integrated on single chip that operates at
60GHz on the CMOS process.
• It will allow wireless transfer of audio and video
data up to 5 gigabits per second.
 HISTORY

 The NICTA Gi - Fi research team has succeeded in

taking complex 60GHz transmission technology and
where it can be built on a single silicon chip.
 It can have a span of 10 meters.
 WHY GI – FI ?

– Slow Rate.
– High Power Consumption.
– Low Range of Frequency Operation.

DISADVANTAGES OF BLUETOOTH
AND WI - FI

1. Bit Rate
2. Power consumptions
3. Frequency of operation
ARCHITECTURE OF GI - FI

• The core component of GI – FI is the subscriber

station.
• It supports standard of IEEE 802.15.3C.
• An 802.15.3C based system uses small antenna at
subscriber station.
• It supports line of sight operation.
FEATURES OF GI - FI
• High speed of data transfer - 5 gigabits per second
• Low power consumption - 2 watt power
• High security
• Cost effective – 10$ per chip
• Small size - 5mm per side
• Easily Installed
• Highly portable
 APPLICATIONS

1. Household Appliances
2. Office Appliances
3. Video Information Transfer
4. Inter vehicle communication
TECHNOLOGY CONSIDERATIONS

• Due to less cost of chip so many companies are

looking forward to launch with lower cost.
• The Gi - Fi integrated transceiver chip is may
be launched by starting of next year by
NICTA, Australia will be first .
 CONCLUSION

• Within five years, we expect Gi - Fi to be the

dominant technology for wireless networking.
• If success of Wi - Fi and the imminent wide usage
of Wi MAX is any indication, Gi - Fi potentially
can bring broadband to the enterprise in an entirely
new way.
