Samsung Electronics has developed new Wi-Fi technology that allows devices to transfer data up to five-times faster than the current maximum.
The company revealed the new technology in a statement over the weekend, which stated that the 60 GHz Wi-Fi will allow faster high-definition video streaming than ever before. This translates to up to 4.6Gbps and 575 MB of data per second.
Kim Chang Tong, Head of DMC R&D Centre of Samsung Electronics, said: "Samsung has successfully overcome the barriers to the commercialisation of 60GHz millimetre-wave band Wi-Fi technology, and looks forward to commercialising this breakthrough technology."
"New and innovative changes await Samsung's next-generation devices, while new possibilities have been opening up for the future development of Wi-Fi technology."
Samsung is promising that this could be available on devices as early as 2015, with current plans set to see the high-speed Wi-Fi band applied to a range of products such as phones, tablets and Internet of Things devices.
The firm said that unlike the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi technologies, "Samsung's 802.11ad standard 60GHz Wi-Fi technology maintains maximum speeds by eliminating co-channel interference, regardless of the number of devices using the same network."
As the statement suggests, the new high-speed Wi-Fi would be the ideal solution for Internet of Things technology, as speeds would be maintained no matter how many devices are connected.
