Wireless Gigabit Alliance

The Wireless Gigabit Alliance[1] (WiGig Alliance)[2] was a trade association that developed and promoted the adoption of multi-gigabit per second speed wireless communications technology "WiGig" operating over the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band.

[20] Sadri directs all activities throughout the alliance, from leading the board of directors to providing support for the technical working groups.

[citation needed] The Wireless gigabit alliance set about its task for creating faster and more efficient communications technology in 2007.

The agreement combined 60 GHz with traditional Wi-Fi networking that extended the range at slower speeds and helped signals to go through walls to cover entire homes.

VESA and WiGig Alliance agreed to share technology specifications to develop multi-gigabit wireless Display Port capabilities.

[3] Although no longer a separate organization, the WiGig technology kept its name, with the Wi-Fi Alliance planning to jointly certify both devices in late 2013.

WDE is the only 60 GHz specification that defines a framework to connect to DisplayPort monitors and HDMI TVs, enabling applications such as the wireless transmission of compressed or uncompressed video.
