The global WiGig Market is estimated to account for US$ 2,541.8 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2021. WiGig is a wireless networking technology that offers super-fast data transfer rates. This high-speed connectivity solution will allow user to stream video and audio files to high-resolution screens. It also eliminates the need for HDMI cables. WiGig uses a 60 GHz frequency band. It's less congested than the 2.4 GHz band. However, it's limited in terms of range. The signal can only travel up to 30 feet. Aside from transferring data at multi-gigabit-per-second speeds, WiGig also features low latency, which means user won't experience lags while watching HD video. This is also an important feature for virtual reality headsets.
