Gi-Fi or Gigabit Wireless is the world's first transceiver integrated on a single chip that operates at 60GHz on the CMOS process.It allows wireless transfer of audio and video data up to 5 gigabits per second within a range of 10 meters.It was developed by the Melbourne University based laboratories of NICTA (National ICT Australia Limited), Australia’s Information and Communications Technology Research Centre of Excellence.GI-FI means gigabit wireless.Worlds first transceiver integrated on single chip.Operates on 60ghz on the CMOS process.Allows wireless transfer of audio and video data at upto 5gb per second.Gi-Fi is ten times the current maximum wireless transfer rate usually within a range of 10 meters.The reason for pushing into Gi-Fi technology is because of Slow data transfer rate,high power consumption,low range of frequency operation of earlier technologies i.e. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.The core components of a GI-FI system is the subscriber station which available to several access points.It supports standard of IEEE 802.15.3C Wireless PANThe wirelessspan is computer network used for communication among computer devices (including telephones and personal digital assistants) close to one person .An 802.15.3c based system often uses small antenna at the subscriber station.The antenna is mounted on the roof.
