ABSTRACT
Gi-Fi, or Gigabit Wireless, is a cutting-edge wireless communication technology that uses a novel transceiver integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip. It works at a stunning frequency of 60GHz on the CMOS process, allowing the smooth transfer of audio and video files at a record-breaking data speed of up to 5 Gigabits per second. This amazing speed according to Al-Begain et al., 2008 is ten times faster than the current peak wireless transfer rate, making Gi-Fi a strong competitor in the field of fast, low-cost wireless data transmission. Compared to existing technologies that have similar transmission range of 10 meters, Gi-Fi is a cost-effective option, with a one-tenth reduction in expenses. The device’s compact design, contained within a 5mm square chip with a 1mm wide antenna, further highlights its efficiency. Remarkably, according to Dawood et al., 2019, the Gi-Fi chip uses less than 2 watts of power during data transmission over short distances, adding to its energy-efficient profile. This technology changes the game in wireless communication, surpassing conventional options such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Wi-MAX. Notably, Gi-Fi’s data transfer abilities greatly exceed the existing standards, making it a driving force for speeding up wireless communication. The possibility of seamless integration with existing technologies, including Wi-MAX according to Hua et al., 2017 creates opportunities for long-range transmission, broadening the range of applications for Gi-Fi. The impact of Gi-Fi goes beyond its immediate advantages, creating a path for the development of future technologies that require large-scale sharing of files and data. The integration of Gi-Fi with existing systems promises to improve long-range transmission capabilities, marking a significant step towards the advancement of wireless communication.
