With the ratification of the IEEE 802.15.3d amendment to the 802.15.3, a\nfirst step has been made to standardize consumer wireless communications in the\nsub-THz frequency band. The IEEE 802.15.3d offers switched point-to-point\nconnectivity with the data rates of 100 ,Gbit/s and higher at distances ranging\nfrom tens of centimeters up to a few hundred meters. In this article, we\nprovide a detailed introduction to the IEEE 802.15.3d and the key design\nprinciples beyond the developed standard. We particularly describe the target\napplications and usage scenarios, as well as the specifics of the IEEE\n802.15.3d physical and medium access layers. Later, we present the results of\nthe initial performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.3d wireless communications.\nThe obtained first-order performance predictions show non-incremental benefits\ncompared to the characteristics of the fifth-generation wireless systems, thus\npaving the way towards the six-generation (6G) THz networks. We conclude the\narticle by outlining the further standardization and regulatory activities on\nwireless networking in the THz frequency band.\n
