GI-FI: COMPARISON WITH EXISTING TECHNOLOGY



 Advantages of Gi-Fi:-

1. Removing Cables
For many years cables ruled the world. Optical fibers played a dominant role for its higher bit rates and faster transmission. But the installation of cables caused a greater difficulty and thus led to wireless access. The foremost of this is Bluetooth which can cover 9-10mts. Wi-Fi followed it having coverage area of 91mts. The standard’s original limitations for data exchange rate and range and high cost of the infrastructures have not yet made it possible for Wi-Fi to become a good replace for the cables. Gi-Fi technology Removes need for cables to connect consumer electronics devices and all the devices in the range of 10 meters can be connected inorder to transmit the data wirelessly.
2. Low Cost Chip
Gi-Fi’s chip uses only a tiny one-millimeter-wide antenna and less than 2mili watts of power. Low-cost chip allows technology to be readily incorporated into multiple devices. The chip in Gifi would likely cost about $10 or less to build. This and a small design would allow cell phones and other small devices to add the technology without significantly drive up the price, according to the company. Gi-Fi is based on an open, international standard. Mass adoption of the standard, and the use of low-cost, massproduced chipsets, will drive costs down dramatically, which is very less in compare to present technologies.

3. Security
Among the factors that have held back enterprise uptake of wireless LANs outside green field sites have been security fears and lack of performance compared to wire line Ethernet. About 70 per cent of firms have deployed their WLAN in a secure firewall zone but are still using the old WEP protocol, which does not
protect the application layer effectively, so better encryption is urgently needed. Secure encryption technology in Gi-Fi ensures privacy and security of content.

4. Simplicity
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. Simple connection improves the consumer experience.The new gigabit wireless system provides Multi-gigabit wireless technology that removes the need for cables between consumer electronic devices and is More than 100 times faster than current short-range wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.This technology with high level of frequency re-use can satisfy the communication needs of multiple customers within a small geographic region.This Gi-Fi technology allows wireless streaming of uncompressed high-definition content and operates over a range of 10 meters without interference. It is highly portable and can be constructed in everywhere. Entire transmission system can be built on a cost effective single silicon chip that operates in the unlicensed, 57-64 GHz spectrum band. Gi-Fi technology also enables the future of information management is easy to deployment with the small form factor. Gi-fi chip has flexible architecture.
