SAMSUNG SAYS IT has developed a WiFi technology that can increase data speeds by five times the current rate, and it could feature in devices as soon as next year.
The new connection would allow a 1GB movie to be downloaded in less than three seconds and would allow uncompressed high-definition videos to be streamed from mobile devices to TVs in real-time.
It says the technology removes the gap between theoretical and actual speeds, and presents actual speeds that are ten times faster than existing WiFi technologies.
The head of Samsung’s Research and Development centre, Kim Chang Yong, said the company had ”successfully overcome the barriers to the commercialisation of 60GHz [WiFi technology]” and that “new and innovative changes await Samsung’s next-generation devices, while new possibilities have been opened up for the future development of Wi-Fi technology.”
It does this by using the 60 GHz WiFi standard, an increase from the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals that devices normally use.
The reason this frequency hasn’t been used before was because it is susceptible to path loss, resulting in poor signal and reception, but Samsung claims it has overcome this through a number of methods such as developing a wide-coverage antenna for it.
Samsung expects this technology to be incorporated into products “as early as next year.” It plans to apply it to a wide range of products such as medical devices, telecommunications equipment and audio-devices.
It also said the development would be integral to developing smart home devices as well as the internet of things.

Is Charlie Flanagan still TD Ah here I give up
This government has managed to get the lifetime of their own government out of the Commission on the Defence Forces. It was lauded in the beginning as a template for change. That was in 2019. The public and others were invited to make submissions in 2020, With the report due for release that December. December came and went, and the report was finally released in february, the Govt sat on it until making the obvious decision to accept the recommendations of LOA2 in July, but with an implementation group who would report back in 6 months. We’ll not go to LOA2 right away though, we’ll do it in phases, increasing defence spending in increments equal to the cost of One military aircraft per year.Here we are now almost June 2023, with nothing substantial achieved apart from a few more high paid civil service posts filled.
Tanagan would have us fighting under the Union Flag if he could. Does anybody really care what he says in this day and age?
Ireland should be a respected neutral country with an army capable of defending the country. Personally I would like weapons that could kill lots of people, this would deter even the worlds biggest countries from invading us.
@Brian Boru:
Nukes…
@Gerry Dornan: whoopee cushions. Can you imagine Putin sitting on one?
Maybe he should get the black and Tans to help out
I’m surprised at Cathal Berry. He should know the one person that will slow this process down to a crawl on that committee. Waiting to appoint a Head of Transformation (there must be a civil servant due retirement)someone who will then appoint someone and hey presto it will be election time. The Sec of the Department was put there for a reason. To make sure Defence is treated at a snails pace. Give nothing to the Military at all costs. I have never seen a Secretary of the Department do or introduce anything constructive EVER. Thats why they are kept.
So the chairperson in charge of a committee for implementing modernisation after meeting 6 times says that a head of transformation is due to be appointed but that other measures are delayed because of the IRG group publication which delayed the development of an implement implementation plan, and that the establishment of an (enquiry) and development of the terms of reference for it and potential interface on both of those and ensuring that the implementation plan is comprehensive also delayed. Please read that back and realise why so much goes at the snails pace mentioned in the article
We should arm and uniform our new Irish brothers, that would be great for everyone.
So the notoriously thin-skinned Flanagan, who was rightly demoted after the last general election, is mouthing off again…
Yawn!
