Just curious why 60 GHz was chosen, any ideas? Avoid interference from other sources? Harder to replicate? FCC approvals? Seems like a very high frequency, alt

Seems like a very high frequency, although looks like there is now a WiFi band up there?
- kotaKat 3y agoWireless USB at ~60GHz has (sort of) been a thing for a while for short range comms as a possibility. One of the largest devices that ever used it was the Essential PH-1 and its snap-on camera module (and some other modules as well); the data was transferred over 60GHz USB while power and alignment was delivered by two pogo pins. There was also Dell and friends' various efforts with WiGig 60GHz docking stations. https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-certified-wigig https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-certified-wigig
