The problem with streaming Hi-Def video over Wi-Fi really has nothing to do with bandwidth, it has to do with how the data is delivered. There is a lot of jitter in the typical Wi-Fi signal. Ruckus is the only company I know of that claims to be able to stream Hi-Def video now (because of their antenna array technology, Beamflex). Ruckus is huge overseas in IPTV markets (that is how they got their start), and I've been told that Ruckus is the largest purchaser of Atheros based chipsets because of how many units they sell overseas for this.

Really, as in-home media sharing grows, you'll need that bandwidth. DirecTV already lets you watch DVR episodes on your PC from your DVR. Soon they'll share them among DVRs. Streaming a 1080P movie from one room to another will take some serious bandwidth. 10 years ago we had 480i. I'm not exactly sure of the order, but we've gone to 480p, 720p, 1080i, and now 1080p. How long will 1080p reign as the highest consumer video resolution? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert West" <robert.w...@just-micro.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 9:18 PM To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wi-Fi to top 1 GB/s by 2012 > Ah!
