Dell today announced the availability of the Dell Wireless Dock,
the industry’s first and only docking solution based on the latest
multi-gigabit tri-band Wi-Fi standard (WiGig) and compatible with
the award-winning Dell Latitude 6430u Ultrabook™ for a
best–in-class wireless docking experience. The new WiGig standard
begins an exciting new era in mainstream wireless connectivity with
speeds up to 10 times that of today’s fastest Wi-Fi networks.
Designed for use in offices, meeting rooms and classrooms, the
Dell Wireless Dock offers quick and easy connectivity to displays,
projectors, networks, speakers and other peripherals for
unparalleled connectivity and convenience. The new dock supports up
to two external displays with both DisplayPort and HDMI, features
ample peripheral connectivity via three USB 3.0 ports and
facilitates easy collaboration with a front Audio In/Out port for
voice over IP at speeds of up to 4.6 gigabits per second. The Dell
Wireless Dock can also be easily managed with the updated Dell
Connection Manager that now supports both WiGig and Wireless LAN
settings.
Especially ideal as a connectivity solution in conference rooms
and classrooms, the Dell Wireless Dock supports cable-free,
seamless transitions between multiple presenters and hassle-free
collaboration. An adapter is available for VGA-based
infrastructures and an Ethernet connector helps ensure dedicated,
stable bandwidth for fast data transfers and efficient
communication with remote locations. Additionally, the Dell
Wireless Dock has the same level of usability and easy integration
as the current Latitude E Series Docking Stations with remote
access, monitoring and configuration for business class
control.
With the potential to offer many advanced uses, such as
virtually instantaneous wireless backups, synchronization and file
transfers between computers and handheld devices, the WiGig
standard (802.11ad) is the result of close industry collaboration
led by Dell and Wilocity. Based on the proven IEEE 802.11 standard
specification for long-term stability, WiGig offers the same level
of security and manageability as today’s best WLAN technologies.
WiGig is powered by the first 60 GHz multi-gigabit wireless
chipsets developed by Wilocity and brought to the Dell Latitude
6430u by Qualcomm Atheros, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc.

interfaces that do not reside natively in the 6430u. These
attributes, in addition to the convenience of high-speed wireless
connectivity, will provide Dell customers with an unparalleled
computing experience.”
