AMIMON’s WHDI Modules for notebooks are now available
The new technology enables wireless full HD, PC-to-TV connection
Reportedly, the Israel-headquartered company, AMIMON, announced that its new WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) modules are now available. Notebook manufacturers (including netbooks) may now embed this new technology into their devices.
AMIMON, which has offices in USA, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China, is a leading wireless High Definition semiconductor manufacturer. Allegedly, their WHDI modules are power-efficient, low-cost and can also be integrated into devices that are battery-powered. Basically, this new technology allows consumers to connect their notebooks to other WHDI-enabled products such as HDTVs and wirelessly send and receive full 1080p HD content.
By using these new modules, users can use their HDTVs to view videos, photos, games and more, wirelessly and in HD. Supposedly, AMIMON’s new solution makes the employment of external wireless connection accessories (via HDMI) possible.
"PCs are increasingly becoming a source of multimedia entertainment like Hulu, YouTube, etc. Consumers will be able to wirelessly connect their PCs and watch all this cool new content on their big screen TV anywhere in the home." says Noam Geri, who is a vice president of marketing and business development for AMIMON. "WHDI is gaining momentum with TV OEMs and now also PC OEMs set to offer consumers multiple WHDI enabled products in 2010."
Reportedly, the WHDI modules are based on video modem technology that operates in the 5GHz band. Furthermore, they use similar radio frequency antennas and building blocks and customers may soon be able to use integrated Wi-Fi and WHDI components at low cost.
Notebooks (including netbooks) with the new technology are expected to hit the shelves in 2010. Nevertheless, it is still unknown which AMIMON partners are going to be the first to integrate the WHDI modules into their laptop devices.
