| WiGig Alliance to push for fast wireless streamingA group that includes Intel, Microsoft, Nokia and Panasonic plans to introduce a specification for short-range, gigabit-speed wireless networking by year-end. UWB group hands off to Wireless USB, Bluetooth The WiMedia Alliance, the industry group organized to push UWB (ultrawideband) technology, will disband after it finishes transferring its technology to two other personal-area network organizations. Gigabit WLANs Are (almost) Here Today's announcement of the brand-new Wireless Gigabit Alliance (AKA WiGig or WGA) (this site is not quite live as of this posting) brings the tantalizing possibility of wireless LANs with multi-gigabit speeds decidedly closer than I'd previously thought. As you may know, the folks at 802.11 are working on two gigabit WLAN standards, one (Task Group ac) at 5 GHz., and one (Task Group ad) at 60 GHz., with neither likely to produce a standard before the end of 2012. The culture has shifted In 2003, I speculated that wireless LAN technology could at some point become the preferred option for connecting to networks - that we would see wireless trump wired connections in many cases. In 2009, it looks like we're seeing that starting to happen. The Internet sky really is falling Many folks are familiar with the modeling we've done over the past few years highlighting the fact that Internet demand is outstripping capacity, specifically access... IPv6 security guru fields questions Although he acknowledges that businesses have yet to embrace IPv6, security guru Scott Hogg says that doesn't mean IT executives can ignore the security problems that the next generation Internet protocol can present. After all, he notes, operating systems such as Microsoft Vista and Linux are already IPv6 capable and thus any networks that use them might be handling IPv6 traffic without their operators' knowledge.
