Home entertainment systems could soon see much higher wireless transmission speeds — possibly of up to 7 gigabits per second — if the plans of the Wireless Gigabit Alliance continue on course. The Alliance, members of which include companies in the chip, mobile phone and telecommunications industries, announced the completion of its unified wireless specification on Wednesday. The spec uses the 60 GHz spectrum and will enable data transfer at rates more than 10 times faster than today’s wireless LANs. It will be offered for implementation in the first quarter of 2010.
