A group called WirelessHD has formed to develop and promote the transmission of HDTV signals wirelessly, hoping to eliminate the rat's nest of cords, cables and other wires that lurk behind most of today's home theater systems. WirelessHD is comprised of six leading HDTV manufacturers -- LG Electronics, Matsushita (parent of Panasonic), NEC, Samsung Electronics, Sony and Toshiba -- as well as SiBEAM, a start-up whose technology the group will use. The consortium has been operating informally until today and intends to standardize wireless HD signals sometime next year before bringing to market products that will be part of HDTVs and other CE components.
According to the companies, "WirelessHD, which intends to specify the unlicensed, globally available 60 GHz frequency band, will enable wireless uncompressed high-definition, high-quality video and data transmission and is first targeted to be built into HDTV's as well as a wide range of audio video (A/V) devices, both fixed location and portable."
