Motorola's hot wireless TV plan dailynews.yahoo.com >>Motorola believes it is "years ahead of anyone else" in exploiting parts of the radio spectrum that would allow delivery of interactive television services wirelessly. According to Rudyard Istvan, the company's corporate director of strategy, the technology can operate in nearly any slice of spectrum ranging from 5 billion to 60 billion cycles, or hertz, per second. >>At present, Motorola appears to be focusing on what Istvan calls a "very, very interesting band" of spectrum that lies just below 60 gigahertz. The company envisions selling huge volumes of small, antennae - possibly the size of thermostats - that would be scattered across corporate campuses, public places and streets roughly 15 feet apart, as well as microchips to handle signals and process video. >>Istvan said Motorola would propose its architecture for this system, which it calls Piano, as an industry standard for delivering high-speed wireless data among personal computers, servers, personal digital assistants, notebook PCs and other digital devices. >>While Motorola has not publicly discussed the Piano architecture, the company said it considers the technology to be ready to roll out. "We wouldn't be proposing it [as a standard] if we didn't feel we could implement it now," Istvan said. >>If adopted, the impact "could be quite large" on data networks, Istvan said. He expects Piano first to extend the use of company networks to the exchange on an instant's notice of video and other multimedia data.<<
