Tandhoni Rao, Ph.D, Founder and Vice President of Product Strategy at Radiospire Networks will be speaking at the CONNECTIONS Conference this June 26th at 11:15 AM at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Rao will be participating on the Wireless Networking Panel called "Fun Without Cords: Wireless Networking for Multimedia."
Radiospire Networks newest initiative...
Several standardization initiatives for in-home high-definition wireless connectivity have already been proposed, but history has shown that industry consortia aimed at furthering standardization tend to slow progress when it's being driven or initiated by a single vendor. Real progress happens when an open standards body, such as IEEE, is involved in helping find the solution that is in the best interests of advancing the technology itself rather than serving a single vendor's agenda.
Right now, Radiospire is actively involved with the standardization process via IEEE's 802.15.3c working group, and is focused on bringing the best possible product to the consumer as quickly and efficiently as possible via the standardization effort, regardless of the technology vendor initially behind it.
Radiospire Networks' biggest challenge...
Radiospire is currently in the process of scaling its supply chain to adequately handle the transition to mass production and distribution on the world scale next year. Successful and speedy development of this full supply chain will present the company with the most difficult challenge for 2008.
Long Term Goals...
Radiospire sells chips directly to consumer electronics manufacturers, with the eventual goal of product incorporation within digital home systems. Radiospire also currently markets products to branded CE companies, with plug-and-play AirHook-branded products such as home theater and gaming hubs, and a dongle pair for the television and set-top box. Ultimately, however, the company aims to have its technology embedded in televisions and other digital peripherals to wirelessly connect the entire home theater system without the need for any additional products.
Successful Product...
Radiospire is the first wireless HD chip manufacturer to integrate the consumer electronics control (CEC) functionality into its products.
Increasingly important to television and home theater manufacturers, the CEC channel allows AV products to communicate with one another over an HDMI system, enabling single-remote system control and simplifying the home theater experience for the consumer. Manufacturers are increasingly coming to value this capability, and have shown tremendous interest in Radiospire's unique solution with its integration.
Greatest Strengths...
Unlike its competitors, Radiospire's wireless solution was built from the ground up and specifically designed for high-definition video.
While others have rushed to re-purpose existing solutions (WiMedia, 802.11n, etc.), Radiospire has built an entirely new chip optimized for streaming HD applications. By utilizing a 1.7 GHz link, Radiospire can deliver completely pure data without the addition of expensive equipment or other special techniques to manipulate the stream, at a rate up to 40 times that of its competitors'. And unlike all other competing technologies, Radiospire's solution is spectrum agnostic, and fully scalable for the future. Ready now for the 3.1 - 10.6 GHz unlicensed spectrum, and engineered for future use at 60GHz, AirHook has been created to solve the wireless HD conundrum today, and specifically designed to leave room for the more sophisticated content and advanced radio technology of tomorrow.
