Broadcast quality multimedia content distributed over Wi-Fi throughout the entire home ... for the very first time!
The Problem
While broadband providers are actively focused on and delivering the next generation of multimedia service to consumers over an all IP infrastructure, it’s not enough for carriers to simply get content to the consumer’s doorstep. Distributing this content throughout the home, over a single network, has become a stumbling block for carriers and consumers alike.
Wi-Fi is widely seen as the preferred method of networking devices in the home. But the technology has largely been optimized for data. Wi-Fi’s present inadequate range, spotty coverage, inconsistent performance, and erratic interference has have led to the development of new products and technology that makes multimedia distribution in the home more feasible and cost-effective.
The Solution
Ruckus Wireless has innovated technology breakthroughs that allow, for the first time, the ability to transmit standard and high definition (IP-based) digital TV signals over standards based 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi. The Company has also developed one of the first purpose-built metro Wi-Fi customer premise receivers capable of ensuring a reliable, long-range connection to outdoor broadband Wi-Fi networks.
It’s flagship product, MediaFlex, is acknowledged as the first wireless multimedia home distribution system – a combination of unique networking hardware and software technology that solves the problems surrounding voice, video and data distribution over Wi-Fi throughout the home. Ruckus’ wireless multimedia system incorporates state-of-the-art advances, such as its patent-pending BeamFlex and SmartCast technologies that directly extend Wi-Fi signals to any user, constantly steer RF signals around interference and prioritize traffic types over the air. The result is picture-perfect transmission of voice, streaming video, IPTV and data to every corner of the house.
