Amino announces that Amino’s A140/A540 set-top boxes will now be complemented by a Wi-Fi USB solution using
Celeno’s video-grade Wi-Fi technology.
The Amino Wi-Fi USB dongle enables service providers to offer a video-grade Wi-Fi solution that accelerates the adoption of IP-based video services by enabling after-market IP STBs to wirelessly receive HD content. Powered by Celeno’s field-proven OptimizAIR technology, the device maximizes range, throughput, and signal consistency and ensures low packet drop, jitter, and latency, while achieving superior Quality of Service for perfect, lossless video streaming.
By combining an 802.11n MAC, baseband and 3x3 radio on a single silicon with a memory-less USB architecture, the device significantly reduces the service providers’ cost of deployment as it is simply plugged into an external USB connector on a STB or other display device. This effectively transforms the STB or TV into a video-grade Wi-Fi connected device to ensure plug-and-play, self-install simplicity.
The device operates in both the 2.4GHz and the uncongested 5GHz frequency channels and works with legacy home networks as well as advanced concurrent dual-band networks.
The Amino Wi-Fi solution will be demonstrated at IBC 2012 at the Amino stand, Hall 5. B40. Celeno will also be exhibiting at IBC 2012 and can be found in Hall 3 Area A19.
