The UltraGig 6400 combines the intelligent beam-forming technology of a 60GHz RF transceiver with an embedded antennaarray to enable a secure, high-bandwidth video link to WirelessHD-compliant receivers and displays, thereby eliminating all interference with Wi-Fi-based solutions.
Antennas have often capped the potential speed of a wireless link -- the 450Mbps in modern 802.11n WiFi routers is directly linked to the use of a MIMO antennaarray to catch signals more effectively, for example.
Samsung used an adaptive array transceiver using 64 antenna elements to obtain a speed of up to 1.056 Gbps to transmit the signal up to two kilometers.
While out on three spacewalks, Atlantis mission specialists Steve Bowen, Michael Good and Garrett Reisman replaced six solar array batteries on the orbiting platform and installed a backup communications Ku-band antenna and a robot tool tray.
The Archer module consists of the UltraGig 6400 single chip transmitter with its intelligent beam-forming 60GHz RF transceiver, embedded antennaarray, and WirelessHD 1.1 compliant network processor as well as all necessary external components on a single, flex- print cable module.
