INTRODUCTION
Gi - Fi or Gigabit Wireless is the worlds 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.

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-Consumers could typically download
a high definition movie in a matter of seconds to music player or smart
phone and having got home could play it on a home theatre system or
store it on a home server for future viewing.

2. Office AppliancesIt transfers data at high speeds which

made work very easy, it also provides
high quality of information from internet.

3. Video Information Transfer-Data transfer rate is same for

transfer of information from a PC to a cell
or a cell to a PC. It can enable
wireless monitors, the efficient
transfer of data from digital
camcorders, wireless printing of
digital pictures from a camera without the need for an intervening
personal computer.

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 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.
