Trade Names
[edit]There are several trade names, eg Gi-Fi and WiGig articles on WikiPedia. This page was created as Gigabit Wireless was merely a redirect to the defunct trade name, Gi-Fi before Gigabit Wireless become commonplace. Rururudy (talk) 09:27, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Seeking more authors
[edit]I hashed out a quick outline of 'Gigabit wireless'. If you are knowledgeable in the field or good at technical writing, help this page out! Rururudy (talk) 18:00, 4 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.244.27.100 (talk)
Apology
[edit]@Rururudy: @104.244.27.100: I apologize for not looking closely enough. I read the first line of Gi-Fi, which says "Gi-Fi or gigabit wireless refers to a wireless communication at a data rate of more than one billion bits (gigabit) per second." I obviously assumed that it would continue to talk about gigabit wireless speed. It didn't. However, unless you can expand these, I would support merging/redirecting them both to Wi-Fi, or perhaps Internet speed. -©2016 Compassionate727(Talk)(Contributions) 18:15, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
No problem. WiFi, Internet Speeds, and Gigabit Wireless are different things. Nuking this page is similar to someone not enjoying sports saying "How about we just stuff football, baseball, and basketball into one 'Sportsball' page?" or maybe someone not interested in wireless modulations saying, "let's get rid of the QAM page and just redirect to the RF page". I encourage you to read up on wireless and help this page, or patiently wait and a year and see if experts in the field flush it out. If you are eager to nuke pages, take out Gi-Fi and WiMax, or make a new page Defunct Wireless Protocols and put them in there! Rururudy (talk) 05:56, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
