RE: [smartBridges] Wireless Video on Demand?

[phantam]

We did some testing with this interestingly enough to stream video depending on how you do it. We used the current smartbridge equipment and as long as we kept our link at over 500kbit we had a good constant stream, we were using xbox's (modded Im not sure of the legality of that but we did with some of our own dvd's that we ripped to try to stream from our office to our house.) and it worked quite well using WMV9 but with a 54mbit / 4mbit dedicated link I would think video streaming could be done perfectly except you would have to come up with a QoS setup, this is kinda close to what we are about to start working on for some VoIP phones for our customers.
