Dell has announced the availability of the Dell Wireless Dock, a docking solution based on the multi-gigabit Tri-Band Wi-Fi standard (WiGig), compatible with the Dell Latitude 6430u Ultrabook. The new WiGig standard achieves speeds up to 10 times that of today’s fastest Wi-Fi networks, allowing for two external displays with both DisplayPort and HDMI, peripheral connectivity via three USB 3.0 ports, and a front Audio In/Out port.
The WiGig dock operates in the 60Ghz spectrum, and is fast enough to run about 10 times as quickly as an 802.11n connection. The dock has the bandwidth to not just stream HD video but also to allow for previously-impossible features like fast wireless displays and syncing entirely over the wireless connection.
The Dell Wireless Dock is available now for $249.
