Ruckus Wireless demonstrates breakthrough technology at The Connected Home (26/10/2005)

Ruckus Wireless will be demonstrating new technology at The Connected Home show, London Olympia, that, FOR THE FIRST TIME, enables 'broadcast quality' TV, video and gaming to be run over a wi-fi network in the home.

Consumers increasingly want on-demand entertainment and communications anywhere in the home. Installing a wi-fi network is an obvious way to achieve this, but up to now, the transmission of multimedia content has typically required separate distribution networks, as off-the-shelf wi-fi products can only stream video over a short distance before it becomes unwatchable.

With the new Ruckus smart antenna and multicast system, it is now possible to reliably deliver high-quality video, audio, games and rich data anywhere throughout the home - effectively enabling 'true' triple play over wireless and eliminating installation inconvenience, wiring costs and unsightly displays of cables and cords.

Ruckus believes that service providers' ability to increase the flexibility and functionality of triple play in the home - by offering technologies such as the Ruckus system -will be critical to their future revenues. Focusing on multimedia services over wireless will enable them both to retain and acquire users, as well as significantly enhance the subscriber experience.
