Sony is working on a new millimeter wave based technology that will offer high speeds within electronic products. Essentially, large integrated circuits will be reduced in size with this new technology. Instead of having a large network of wires and physical connections, electronic products will be able to communicate through wireless millimeter waves internally. This will reduce the size of the circuitry and, as a direct impact, the cost as well.
The speed at which electronic components receive, process, and send data is increasing. As a result, more complicated circuitry is required to keep up with this massive change in speed. The millimeter wave technology is based on electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 1-10mm and with a frequency of 30GHz-300GHz. This small wave allows for very small antennas to be used and the high frequency will allow for high data speeds. Sony has actually implemented this technology and obtained a speed of 11Gbps over a distance of 14mm using a 1mm antenna (http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201002/10-017E/index.html)
This wireless technology will increase the efficiency of the components, decrease the cost, and increase the speed. This technology will surely be implemented in many future electronic products.
