Re: FRC Blog - Behind the Scenes at IRI

It would be nice for FIRST to be early adopters of 802.11AD since it utilized a 60GHz frequency. Less interruptions and interference, huge bandwidth (why it's called WiGig) and due to the nature of 60GHz antenna modules vs 2.4GHz antenna modules, the same size package can have far more antennas per module on the order of 32 vs 1. Additionally, there are benefits with efficiency and power consumption. Unfortunately 60GHz reflects rather than penetrates most surfaces so this does affect connection, but from previous network setups at competition, I doubt that would be a huge issue.
