Video Distribution from Reliable Wireless

Ruckus Wireless has combined two growing fields, wireless
and video, with its patent pending technology for reliable transmission of digital video over standards-based in-home wireless networks. Improving on the
consistency and range of standard wireless connections, Ruckus goes one
step further, enabling WiFi users to transmit their IPTV signal to their TV sets
wirelessly. Furthermore, while service providers may be able to bring triple
play services to subscribers’ homes, Ruckus’ technology enables easier distribution of the voice, video, and data services throughout the home using any
standards-based 802.11 wireless connection.

In an effort to extend its market reach, Ruckus Wireless has reached an
agreement whereby the Communications Supply Service Association (CSSA) will market, stock, and sell, Ruckus’ MediaFlex smart WiFi system for the home. CSSA member providers will now have easy access to some of the most compelling wireless technology available today.

“Extending next-generation, IP-based digital services in the home is
a major issue for broadband providers. Ideally, a no-wire solution that
is reliable enough to support IPTV is what providers and subscribers
want,” said Scott Davison, vice president of strategic product develop-
ment for CSSA. “Ruckus Wireless has overcome the technical obsta-
cles that, up to now, effectively prohibited WiFi from serving this pur-
pose in the home.”

“Our members have needed technology like this for a long, long time,”
added Davison. “Solving the in-home distribution problem has been a big
hurdle for providers, and we really didn’t think traditional WiFi would ever be made reliable enough.”
