Researchers from Nanyang University of Technology and the A * STAR Institute for Infocommunication Research have developed a new wireless technology for high-speed data transmission. The chipset, called VIRTUS, provides broadcast information at speeds up to 2 Gb / s. Low energy consumption makes technology a potential successor to Bluetooth on smartphones and tablets. So, a 1GB chip transmits in just 5 seconds.

VIRTUS can compete with Wi-Fi technology, even 812.11ac. For example, this chip is 1000 faster than Bluetooth (version 2.0). It uses a millimeter wave range to send bulk data packets with low power consumption.

Scientists emphasize that for the first time they were able to get an integrated three-component chip operating at a frequency of 60 GHz with low power consumption. 16 international patents have already been issued for the product. So we are waiting for devices on which you can watch streaming FullHD video.
