Metalink Ltd., a provider of high-performance wireless and wireline broadband communication silicon solutions, today announced that it has concluded a series of live demonstrations of delivery of multiple simultaneous HDTV streams anywhere in the home, using its WLANPlus chipset,a high-throughput wireless LAN technology, 5-10 times faster than currently available wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g technologies.
Featuring MIMO technology adopted by the 802.11n standardization, Metalink's WLANPlus chipset can deliver multiple HDTV streams to any location within a radius of 100 feet in the 5 GHz frequency band.
Metalink plans additional performance enhancements and new features will be incorporated into the company's next generation of WLANPlus products, which will be released concurrent with 802.11n industry certification.
"We believe that in 2007, driven by the adoption of the 802.11n standard, Wi-Fi chipsets will be widely used by consumer electronics manufacturers for products such as HDTV displays and DVRs," said Philip Solis, senior analyst at ABI Research. "We expect the number of Wi-Fi ICs sold into consumer electronics to grow from 6.6 million units in 2004 to over 70 million units in 2007."
