 University of Waterloo have developed a cheaper and more efficient method for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to receive high-speed wireless connectivity.
With 75 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices expected to be in place by 2025, there would be a growing strain on requirement of wireless networks. Contemporary WiFi and cellular networks won't be enough to support the influx of IoT devices, researchers highlighted in their new study.

Millimeter wave  that offers multi-gigahertz  that allocated to today's WiFi and cellular networks. In fact, 5G networks would be powered by MillimeterWave technology. However, the hardware required to use Millimeter Wave is expensive and power-hungry, which are significant deterrents to it being deployed in many IoT applications.

"To address the existing challenges in exploiting Millimeter wave  for IoT applications we created a novel Millimeter wave  network ,mmX significantly reduces cost and power consumption of an Millimeter wave  network enabling its use in all IoT applications."
In comparison to WiFi and Bluetooth, which are slow for many  applications, Millimeter Wave X provides much higher bit rate.

"MillimeterWave X will not only improve our WiFi and wireless experience, as we will receive much faster internet connectivity for all IoT devices, but it can also be used in applications, such as, virtual reality, data centers and wireless  networks. Any sensor you have in your home, which traditionally used WiFi and lower frequency can now communicate using high-speed millimeter wave networks.
"Autonomous cars are  going to use a huge number which will be connected through wire; now you can make all of them wireless and more reliable."
