60 Gigahertz

Wilocity: 60GHz wireless revolution begins at CES - CNET News

"We'll be able to show you what your life would be like on 60GHz"

The 802.11ad technology uses directional communications. Instead of bathing a room or a house in a wireless signal, 802.11ad technology sets up specific channels between devices' antennas. That minimizes interference.

But there's no free lunch: 802.11ad works only over short distances. For practical purposes, that means within a room.

802.11ad adherents hope the technology will rid the world of some cables.
