Wilocity is on a mission to build the fastest Wi-Fi chips in the world. The company, which was demonstrating its technology at CES in a suite at the Las Vegas Hotel, specializes in wireless products that favor 60GHz transmissions, which are faster than traditional Wi-Fi. Regular Wi-Fi connections use the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and have just crossed the gigabit-per-second mark with the 802.11ac standard.

“Wilocity is one of the main proponents of the even faster WiGig (or ‘wireless gigabit’), which can theoretically hit speeds of up to 7Gbps, with the downside of using frequencies that are easily blocked by walls,” reports Ars Technica.

“It’s possible the next wireless router you buy will use the 60GHz frequency as well as the lower ones typically used in Wi-Fi, allowing for incredibly fast performance when you’re within the same room as the router and normal performance when you’re in a different room,” notes the article.

So far, only the Dell Latitude 6430u Ultrabook uses the Wilocity chip.

“WiGig isn’t really a selling point for this laptop today, because there’s no way to take advantage of it until there are companion products like docking stations or routers,” explains the article. But in years to come, it’s predicted that WiGig could be available to tablets and PCs.

But “success will depend on hardware makers, of course,” notes Ars Technica. “USB adapters could extend WiGig capability to laptops or even tablets with a USB port.” But in order to make it truly mobile, the chips will need to be pre-installed in devices by manufacturers.
