New wireless standard to carry cable TV
A new potential wireless standard, with enough bandwidth to carry cable television signals from a wall-mounted outlet to a TV anywhere in the home, could be on the market as early as next year, an industry group said Tuesday.
[blockquote]The Multiband OFDM Alliance, led by Texas Instruments Inc, the world's top maker of microchips for cell phones, said it would publish standards for the technology in May. The group said it expected products with the technology, known as Ultra Wideband, to ship in 2005.
Ultra Wideband operates at a lower power than the wireless local area network standard known as WiFi, but is capable of handling much larger amounts of data, including streaming video.
