Gi-Fi stands for Gigabit Wireless.
Gi-Fi is a wireless transmission system
which is ten times faster than other
Technology.
It will allow wireless transfer of audio and
video data upto 5 gigabits per second.
5. Evolution Of GiFi
Melbourne University researchers have
achieved up to 5Gbps data transfer rates
on a wireless chip.
The NICTA (National ICT Australia Limited)
Gi-Fi research team has succeeded in taking
complex 60GHz
transmission technology
and shrinking it to the point where it can be
built on a single silicon chip.
8. Features & Advantages
1) High Speed Data Transfer
Speed of Gi-Fi is 5 Gbps; which is 10 times the
data transfer of the existing technologies.
9. 2) Power Consumption
It has less than 2mili watts of power
consumption that in compare to the
current technologies is very less.
3) Cost of Chip is low
The chip in Gi-Fi would likely cost less
to build. Then a small design would allow
cell phones and other small devices to add
the technology without significantly drive
up the price.
10. 4) Provides High Security
Gi-Fi technology is based on IEEE
802.15.3C and this standard provides more
security during transmission.
11. 5) Flexibility (No More Complex
Connections)
One of the problems with wire connections and
cables is complexity for connecting, but in the
Gigabit wireless technology simplicity is one of
the features. No wiring at all.
12. 6) Small in size
The size of the Gi-Fi chip is 5×5 millimetre
and can be placed in different devices such as
mobile phones.

19. Conclusion
Gi-Fi has given and it is conspicuous that more
research should be done in the field of this new
wireless technology and its applications.
The comparison is performed between Gi-Fi and
existing wireless technologies in this paper shows
that these features along with some other benefits
that make it suitable to replace the existing
wireless technologies.
