The Future Office is Wireless – are you ready?

In the next 12 months new devices will appear on the market that will make your desk workspace less cluttered.

Sometime in the not-too-distant future we’ll be bringing in our laptop or tablet to work, setting it on our desk and the display, hard drive and peripherals will automatically magically connect to it wirelessly with no need for all the cables which are currently under and across our desks – doesn’t that sound bliss but is your office ready.

This wire-free future will be the result of several technologies that exist or are currently in development, coming together for our benefit.  One of these technologies is called WiGig, it is a multigigabit wireless docking technology capable of speeds of up to 7Gbps that runs on spectrum in the unlicensed 60GHz frequency band.  These frequencies are ideal for short-range communications and require line of sight between devices, unfortunately that means it doesn’t work well between rooms.

There is no doubt cable-free communication between devices is coming, in addition to WiGig other technologies that can do it include WirelessHD, Wireless Home Digital Interfaces, Wireless USB, Apple’s Airplay and Intel’s WiDi.
