Samsung Unveils the World's Best High Speed Wireless LAN Technology for AV Applications (24/1/2005)

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today introduced the first wireless AV entertainment local area network, HiWAVE (high-throughput wireless AV entertainment), a unique technology that delivers distortion-free connectivity over a 20 meter range.

With high-throughput MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology as the foundation for its wireless local area network (WLAN), HiWAVE eliminates channel distortion and interference, enabling network devices to transmit data streams reliably over great distances. The system has been designed to effectively service multiple AV streams for the home network environment. As a result, users can share broadband connections between CE devices further and faster than with other technologies, supporting a range of new applications such as live broadcasting and room-to-room streaming services.

HiWAVE's throughput of more than 60 Mbps also enables streaming of HD video anywhere within the home, providing consumers the fullest enjoyment of wireless multimedia entertainment. The new system, which Samsung developed over a two-year period, is backwards compatible with Legacy 802 products, offering seamless interoperability with existing wireless networks.

Various products with Samsung's new HiWAVE technology are scheduled to launch in the second half of year 2005.
