Connectivity in Virtual Reality (VR) devices
It is important to recall that, in terms of connectivity, 802.11 n/ac Wi-Fi is supported by mobile and standalone devices.
In effect, while tethered devices are still connected to a PC or console with a cable, however, a wireless connection is likely to replace the cable connection.
For many analysts, for tethered VR and high-resolution VR content, 60 GHz (WiGig) will play important role to support high bandwidth in the years to come.
ABI Research expects that WiGig will be mainly deployed in the tethered VR devices which need multi-gigabit connectivity with low latency. Nearly 40% of VR HMDs are expected to support WiGig connectivity in 2022.
