Posted on October 24, 2011
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct 24, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today sees the start of the first ever PlugFest to test the interoperability of WiGig devices fromas members of the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig). The ground-breaking WiGig PlugFest will run for three days and establish the interoperability of different products from several of the WiGig Alliance's membership. As such it signals the imminent transition of ultra-fast 60 GHz WiGig networking from a detailed technology specification into commercial products shippable into the marketplace.
The PlugFest is being organized in collaboration with MET Labs and assisted by UL CCS, two of the world's leading independent compliance, testing and certification houses. Key test instrumentation for the PlugFest is being provided by Agilent Technologies, the leader in test and measurement and the only commercial provider of signal creation and modulation analysis SW and HW solutions for the WiGig Standard. Agilent representatives have chaired the WGA Interoperability Working Group (IWG) for the last two years. All three companies are members of the WiGig Alliance.
