Historic First WiGig PlugFest Successfully Hosted at MET Laboratories
Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011
The Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) has successfully completed its historic PlugFest at MET Laboratories in Santa Clara, California. The three-day event in late October confirmed that Alliance member devices implement WiGig specifications correctly, and interoperate with WiGig devices from other Alliance member manufacturers.
During this first PlugFest, ten member companies utilized MET’s advanced know-how and test facility, equipped with sophisticated anechoic chambers and test tools. Specialized test instrumentation was provided by Agilent Technologies.
The PlugFest follows the publication in April of WiGig’s version 1.1 multi-Gigabit wireless specification. WiGig manufacturers are preparing their 60 GHz networking products for certification and market introduction in late 2012 or early 2013.
“We are honored to have hosted this inaugural WiGig PlugFest and to be a WiGig Alliance member,” said MET President Rob Frier. “It is always a thrill to work with the world’s leading manufacturers of semiconductors, personal computers, consumer electronics and handheld devices. We attribute the success of the event to the diligent preparation of fellow WiGig Alliance members, as well as our cutting-edge facilities and technically-savvy personnel.”
