North America WiGig Market Trends

• The WiGig technology supports direct mode, which means the home, enterprises, and service providers are switching to a network for the replacement of cables as well as infrastructure networking. This is a critical point when WiGig in the 2.4 GHz and 5Ghz bands 802.11n and ac would be able to move around dynamically from conventional WiFIs into or across the triband connectivity network. That's a big feature because there are likely to be gaps in coverage of WiG when it comes out into the house.
• Moreover, The WiGig market could offer opportunities for growth due to the increasing number of Internet of Things devices. However, it leads to significant overhead costs, high energy consumptions, and low throughput of WiGig2D networks in the use of direct beamforming training during DND2D neighbor discovery.
• North America has been extensively investing in its 5G infrastructure in order to cover most remote places.​ The use of a 60GHz band has a vital importance in 5G network scaling and can be densified through the addition of small-cell wireless backhaul. In comparison with a fiber connection, WiGig has a cost-effective advantage by using wireless small-cell backhaul.​
• The development of WiGig chipsets was a collaboration between Intel and SK Telecom. Both companies have joined forces to advance their efforts with the Anchorbooster Cell technology, which they state as one of the key technologies for 5G that allows seamless transmission of large amounts of data through a combination of LTE and WiGig networks. The two companies have also mentioned that they would apply Mobile Edge Computing technology on the anchor-booster cell to enhance the quality of experience further and to enable the development of new business models for enterprises and critical verticals.

Given the significant decrease in the count of connected devices and personal computers observed in previously high-traffic areas, it is evident that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on telecommunications services and traffic is noteworthy. As a result of people staying at home and the surge in remote work, there has been a reduction in the number of connected mobile devices and PCs, with a simultaneous increase in the utilization of home Wi-Fi networks by American consumers.
