IBM has introduced a chipset technology that will take close-in wireless connectivity to the next stage, it claims, by leveraging higher-frequency radio spectrum to digitally transmit and receive 10 times faster than today’s WiFi. The new silicon germanium technology allows the chipset to send and receive information in an unlicensed portion of the radio spectrum, which can carry a much greater volume of data, according to Big Blue.
