IBM announced today that they are developing a chipset that can beam high definition video from PC to TV through an ultra fast wireless signal. This technology will allow full length HD video or TV to be streamed within seconds between devices, without the use of wires or network cables.

The chip uses millimeter wave radio technology (mmWave) to transmit large amounts of data over the highest frequencies on the radio spectrum. The high radio frequencies can handle data up to 100 times the rate of current Wi-Fi transfers. Full length high definition movies, video, or TV could be transferred and ready for viewing within seconds compared with upwards of 10 minutes over a regular Wi-Fi connection.

Any stationary or handheld electronic device could ultimately contain one of these chips, which means that someday you could download movies to your video iPod or other handheld device as quickly as walking by your computer or a kiosk.
