Atheros Communications is working with Wilocity, a developer of 60 GHz multi-gigabit wireless chipsets, to build tri-band wireless solutions (2.4, 5 and 60 GHz bands) for the home.
The plan is to combine the ubiquity and coverage of Wi-Fi with the multi-gigabit performance of the Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) Alliance’s 60 GHz technology for in-room connectivity. Wilocity’s Wireless PCI Express (wPCIe) technology aims to eliminate all data cabling between devices. http://www.wilocity.com http://www.atheros.com

You just read about Wi-Fi. Here is what it replaced:
Wireless USB (UWB) served 2005–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Wireless USB (UWB) carried USB over ultrawideband radio (3.1-10.6 GHz) at short range, spreading signals across a huge bandwidth at low power for cable-free peripherals. Its job passed to Wi-Fi — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
