Techno Question:Wireless links to your TV? If PC-DVD is the way to go...how good are the wireless systems that for example Hi-Val is using to transmit the signal to your TV from your PC-DVD? What kinda degregation in the signal takes place? What about audio? My feeling is that a >$1K/NC/STB with DVD will be the way too go unless some wireless system can do the job. What do ya think? fred ____________ Frost & Sullivan: Wireless LANs set to boom By Rebecca Sykes IDG News Service, 12/23/97 The market for wireless LANs is on the brink of a growth spurt, thanks to the creation of an interoperability standard, market researcher Frost & Sullivan, Inc. said yesterday in a statement. Vendor compliance with the IEEE 802.11 standard will help the wireless LAN market triple in revenues by 2003, according to the statement. Under that model, the wireless LAN market would be $697 million by 2003, it said. The IEEE 802.11 standard is designed to allow any wireless LAN client or access point in the 2.4GHz-band to interoperate with any other 802.11-compliant equipment operating on the same physical layer. The wireless LAN market is already robust, topping $187 million in revenues in 1996, up 45% from the previous year, according to Frost & Sullivan's statement. Retail, transportation and warehousing industries were among the first to use wireless LAN technologies, and while their demand has slowed, educational institutions and hospitals are quickly becoming sectors for growth opportunity, according to the statement. As for the wireless LAN players, the top three companies - Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Innovation, Proxim, Inc. and Aironet Wireless Communications, Inc. - control 59% of the total market, the statement said. Second-tier companies that are gearing up to claim more market share include Digital Equipment Corp., Symbol Technologies, Inc. and Windata, Inc., it said.
