Wireless News: Through-wall HDTV UWB streaming demonstrated
Proprietary video technology company FOCUS Enhancements today said its semiconductor group is successfully demonstrating the transmission of two high-definition TV (HDTV) streams through walls.
The company said the demonstration at its Hillsboro, OR facility is a step toward its goal of enabling consumer products that will transmit multiple HD streams throughout the home based on FOCUS UWB chipsets later this year.
FOCUS said the technology "extends the WiMedia/MBOA UWB Standard to better meet the requirements of video and high-speed data distribution through the home and office of the future". The company said it had "essentially doubled the IEEE's targets of 110 Mbps at a distance of 10 meters".
The company said it expects to sample UWB chip-sets in the third quarter of 2005 and modules containing UWB chip-sets later in the year. Performance expectations are anticipated to range from 880 Megabits per second (Mbps) at 8 meters to 37 Mbps at around 40-plus meters.
