Rotani’s VideoPuck Delivers “Error Free” IPTV over WiFi
TMCnet Associate Editor
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Rotani Inc., a developer and designer of next generation wireless networking solutions, has released its VideoPuck technology for IPTV.
According to the company, VideoPuck enables “error-free” transmission of IPTV over WiFi when used with the company’s AirReferee WiFi technology.
“Service providers need to deploy wireless systems that co-exist with each other, even in multi-tenant apartment buildings,” said Roc Lastinger, president and chief technical officer of Rotani. “AirReferee is a scalable system architecture that reduces interference from adjacent wireless LANs and sustains network performance. The combination of VideoPuck and AirReferee is a complete turnkey solution for IPTV.”
IPTV service providers typically use multicast to simultaneously send video to a large number of subscribers. But because it was designed for wired networks, multicast does not provide the error correction required for wireless 802.11 and HomePlug networks. Continuous packet loss over 802.11 and HomePlug networks ultimately results in screen pixilation and poor video quality.
VideoPuck, however, works with AirReferee to eliminate packet loss over wireless networks and thus delivers the performance and quality required for IPTV and wireless video applications.
Rotani’s VideoPuck and AirReferee designs are available to OEMs and ODMs via open licensing agreements.
