Chip manufacturer Amimon has just started shipping a chipset based on its Wireless High-Definition Interface (WHDI) standard. This will allow high definition video (uncompressed) to be broadcast around a home. The chip is capable of delivering 1080p content at datarates of up to 3Gbps through a 40MHz channel in the 5GHz unlicensed band and can stream HD content at 1.5Gbps through a 20MHz channel.
Amimon claims that the chip is suitable for home usage. It claims a latency of less than 1ms, a range of up to 30 meters and the ability to penetrate dividing walls. The company is confident that it can clean all the A/V wires and cables from your home soon.
The chipset will be integrated into consumer electronics products by the end of the year, with more devices set to arrive in early 2008. Loewe and Funai will demonstrate products that use the chipset at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.
