The first WiGig-enabled smartphones in the digital market



It is steadily interesting to see that, Qualcomm and other IC suppliers are working hard to drive the technology forward.


In fact, there are currently few products on the market that utilize 802.11ad, many OEMs have yet to find a compelling enough use case to justify the additional costs and complexities in adopting the standard.

We expect the first WiGig-enabled smartphones to arrive later this year, with 802.11ad support provided alongside Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 platform. 

For those who are unfamiliar, the new technology can allow OEMs to further differentiate their flagship products from the middle and lower tier devices, as well as maximize streaming performance from access points and push content between devices.
