Mohir says:

The chip uses the 60GHz frequency band and has reached 5Gigabit per second transmission speed. Total power usage is below 300 milliwatts.

The demonstration was a prototype chip. Future versions will use better antennas.

Lee indicated that the chip size has been reduced to 0.5 millimeter, one-tenth of that of existing chips, and the cost is less than one-tenth of the traditional communication module and could be further lowered to only US$1. The SOC successfully combines RF Front-End Circuits and an antenna array to reach the highest transmission speed. </BLOCKQUOTE><DIV> The range of this version is about ten meters.
