00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.600
wi-fi is great isn't it it can deliver real world speeds of a gigabit or more

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:10.960
and lets you stream 4k and game to your heart's content

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.639
that is assuming your router's up to scratch you don't have a bunch of junk

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.000
in the way and your mom isn't causing network congestion binging say yes to

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.199
the dress again but what if we could go faster

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.800
i mean even though wi-fi speeds have increased dramatically over the past 20

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.039
years slow downs are still common for

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:36.239
all the reasons that we just outlined and this is where why gig could give us

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:41.760
a huge assist now let's get this out of the way first contrary to popular belief

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.920
why gig is not an informational campaign

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:50.640
about the benefits of hunting frogs but rather a new Wi-Fi standard that promises

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.559
speeds of over 40 gigabits per second

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.440
on one stream now this is theoretical maximums of

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.440
course and the first widespread y gig devices will probably have real world

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.400
speeds of seven to eight gigabits per second but like that is still a huge

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:12.159
improvement over current standards so how exactly then are they boosting

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.000
wi-fi performance several times over

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.880
well i'm glad you asked unlike traditional wi-fi which uses the 2.4

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:24.720
gigahertz and 5 gigahertz bands to transmit data y-gig uses the 60

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:29.680
gigahertz band meaning that its signals are much higher in frequency allowing

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.920
them to transmit more data per second remember how the jump from 2.4 to 5

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.640
gigahertz some years ago also sped things up quite a bit

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:40.799
unfortunately this also means that y gig

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.920
only works over ranges that are much shorter than traditional wi-fi you see

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:50.000
higher frequency radio waves are more easily attenuated by obstacles that is

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:53.520
to say they're blocked and you've probably seen this for yourself if

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:58.719
you've ever walked far away from your router and then switched between 2.4 and

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:04.240
5 gigahertz on your phone although 2.4 gigahertz is slower it also

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:09.840
works at a greater range so back to y gig then it operates at a

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:14.640
much higher frequency than even 5 gigahertz wi-fi which means that this

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:19.040
effect becomes very pronounced to the point where y-gig honestly is mostly

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:22.879
intended to connect gadgets within the same room

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:26.800
so that sounds kind of lame doesn't it why are we even bothering

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.680
because even though no one thinks that ygig is going to replace standard wi-fi

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.560
for most people it could eliminate the need for wires in situations where being

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:41.200
tethered down would be super annoying think about being able to cast a 4k

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:46.400
stream between devices without having to rely on a congested primary wi-fi

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:49.840
network or being able to use a vr headset without wondering if you're

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:55.840
gonna rip the cables out if you wander too far off in fact the wireless adapter

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.120
for the htc vive is already using ygig

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.080
technology but why git could also find usage

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.480
outside of this kind of super device specific communication many internet

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:11.599
service providers for example are now offering home internet packages of one

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:16.800
gigabit per second or even more and there is the possibility then that y gig

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:21.519
could make users more likely to actually hit those advertised speeds since nearly

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.560
every consumer pc sold in the last 20 years is limited to one gigabit wired

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.799
networking though it should be noted that this is finally changing with two

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.879
and a half five and ten gig taking off on the subject of taking off is why gig

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:38.959
gonna take off well it's actually been around for a

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:44.080
while under a slightly older standard that required clunkier equipment so it

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:49.760
hasn't gotten terribly popular yet but we've just started seeing the first

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.680
chips that support 802.11 a y the new

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.000
standard for y gig that offers more flexibility and better range over the

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.400
past few months so you might be able to find routers that support this new

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.840
version of y gig sometime this year if you're willing to pay the premium times

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.799
however many rooms you have in your house that you want to have why gig in

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:12.000
because yeah the range sucks

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:16.320
speaking of sucks if you've ever been in this situation it sucks where you just

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.079
need a quick video clip for b-roll or an after effects template or a motion

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.600
background except it doesn't suck because you guys watch Techquickie so

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.840
you already know about story blocks we use story blocks all the time and it's

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:32.080
really simplified our workflow clips are easy to find and you can download as

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:35.919
many as you want at a low cost to test in your project whether it's a youtube

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.840
video or like a video background for your website or whatever the case may be

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:43.600
so instead of letting your creative needs take a back seat due to budget

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.840
constraints or scrambling because a client made a last-minute change use

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.120
