More update and images
We also spoke to Joe Kilmer from AMIMON’s PR agency in the States to get a few more details. He confirmed that the intention is for WHDI to become the industry standard, like HDMI. He said it operates over the same frequency as 802.11n and has a similar range of around 30 metres.
Asked about the ambitious timescale it has set itself, he said “AMIMON has been developing the chip for some time, so now we just need to look at things like control functionality for switching between devices.”
Kilmer confirmed that WHDI supports multi-channel audio and that they’re not concerned about the signal penetrating even the UK’s thick walls. He said we can expect to see products in early 2009. Lastly, he sent us a couple of images to illustrate the usage model for the technology.
