5 Exciting Tech Launches to Look Forward In 2013


#1 Faster Wireless

If you are thinking to go beyond the Wi-Fi which already makes you think that it is pretty fast, then you are in for a game this year. The limitations when you want to transfer large amounts of data wirelessly, say playing uncompressed HD videos can now be overcome with the new standard of Wi-Fi called 802.11ac that would be built on the current Wi-Fi N or 802.11n. Wi-Fiac uses the same 5Ghz frequency but offers better performance. Therefore, new Wi-Fiac routers will be backwards compatible with existing devices.

The ac-enabled devices can provide reliable connections and an improved range. This technology will get evolved and towards the end of 2013, you can get 802.11ad, which adds 60Ghz frequency to 5Ghz. 60Ghz is highly focused, where you can have a direct connection between the router and your device, instead of a lot of wasted energy. Theoretically, 802.11ad can offer speeds of up to 7Gbit/second - seven times faster than a Gigabit Ethernet cable.
