Gi-Fi or gigabit wireless refers to wireless communication at a bit rate of at least one gigabit per second (Gbit/s).

By 2004 some trade press used the term "Gi-Fi" to refer to faster versions of the IEEE 802.11 standards marketed under the trademark Wi-Fi.[1]

In 2008 researchers at the University of Melbourne demonstrated a transceiver on a single integrated circuit (chip) operating at 60 GHz on the CMOS process, allowing wireless communication speeds of up to 5Script error: No such module "String".Gbit/s within a Script error: No such module "convert". range.[2] Some press reports called this "GiFi".[3][4] It was developed by the Melbourne University-based laboratories of NICTA (National ICT Australia Limited).[3]

In 2009, the Wireless Gigabit Alliance was formed to promote the technology. It used the term "WiGig" which avoided trademark confusion.[5]
