The aim of this thesis is to investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the capability of the IEEE 802.11ad device, the Wireless Gigabit Alliance known as WiGig operating in the 60 GHz band to handle rise in data traffic ubiquitous to high speed data transmission such as bulk data transfer, and wireless video streaming. According to Cisco and others, it is estimated that in 2020, internet video traffic will account for 82 % of all consumer internet traffic. This research evalu- ated the feasibility of the 60 GHz to provide minimum data rate of about 970 Mbps from the Ethernet link limited or clamped to 1 Gbps. This translated to 97 % effi- ciency with respect to the IEEE 802.11ad system performance. For the first time, the author proposed the enhancement of millimetre wave propagation through the use of specular reflection in non-line-of-sight environment, providing at least 94 % bandwidth utilization. Additional investigations result of the IEEE 802.11ad device in real live streaming of 4k ultra-high definition (UHD) video shows the feasibility of aggressive frequency reuse in the absence of co-channel interference. Moreover, using heuristic approach, this work compared materials absorption and signal reception at 60 GHz and the results gives better performance in contrast to the theoretical values. Finally, this thesis proposes a framework for the 802.11ad wireless H.264 video streaming over 60 GHz band. The work describes the potential and efficiency of WiGig device in streaming high definition (HD) video with high temporal index (TI) and 4k UHD video with no retransmission. Caching point established at the re-transmitter increase coverage and cache multimedia data. The results in this thesis shows the growing potential of millimeter wave technology, the WiGig for very high speed bulk data transfer, and live streaming video transmission.
