The unlicensed 60GHz spectrum band is creating a home for increased short-range wireless technology development because its high frequency and larger channel sizes allows for much higher data rates. A small number of standards are presently available or under development. This Research Report covers the 60 GHz space and standards such as WirelessHD, WiGig, 802.11ad, and 802.15.3c. It analyzes strategies for these standards and their possible coexistence, and presents a forecast of 60 GHz semiconductor shipments.
