Chipset Maker Peraso to Show Multiple WiGig Demonstrations at CES

Fabless semiconductor company Peraso Technologies will show 802.11ad implementations at CES, including 4K wireless gaming and wireless networking, said the company in an announcement. Demonstrations will feature Peraso's 60-GHz WiGig W110 USB 3.0 adapter and W120 WiGig phased array chipset targeted to bandwidth-intensive applications such as gaming and virtual reality, said the company. WiGig boasts high data rates more than five times that of 802.11ac, solving congestion issues associated with standard Wi-Fi, it said. Peraso’s WiGig applications at CES include multi-gigabit 802.11ad wireless connectivity, multi-vendor 802.11ad access point interoperability, 4K WiGig wireless display and gaming, and WiGig wireless docking. Peraso predicts WiGig will be a “fundamental communications technology" in virtually all consumer electronic devices over the next three to five years. Peraso’s chipsets, currently in production, will be in routers, docking stations, USB adapters and other devices in 2017, it said.
