AT&T’s (News - Alert) fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology is going wireless with a little help from Cisco.

The telco will be able to deploy its U-verse service over an 802.11n WiFi (News - Alert) connection and will deliver standard-definition and high-definition video programming to multiple receivers with built-in or integrated WiFi.

Essentially, if you’re tired of your TV in one room and want to move it to another without the hassle of dealing with cumbersome coaxial cable and reconnecting everything, you won’t have to.

“You could move your U-Verse to the patio for the football game if the weather's nice or to the guest room if you have guests coming in,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, according to a report by AP.

Cisco (News - Alert) said a single wireless access point will be able to support two receivers connected to TVs and said its ISB7005 wireless receiver also functions as a total home HD DVR, allowing consumers to view and manage DVR recordings wirelessly from a wired DVR in the home.

“AT&T is bringing a new freedom to the TV experience, giving consumers the benefit of watching TV in virtually any room in the home. Cisco's wireless IPTV (News - Alert) solution gives our customers flexibility with where they can place and watch their TVs, and offers a faster and simpler set-up process for customers and U-verse technicians,” said GW Shaw, executive director of U-verse marketing, AT&T in a press release.

Earlier this year, AT&T set out plans to launch U-Verse in San Francisco.

The plan to install 726 utility boxes is underway, as AT&T is working with local municipalities to make the project happen. The company believes that going IP is the ultimate in the technological future of San Francisco, and providing another option promotes healthy competition in the communities. Competition, as we all know, stimulates companies to deliver better choices to their customers, leading to overall better customer service.

According to NBC Bay Area, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 in favor of the proposal for the installation of the 726 boxes around San Francisco. AT&T pledged to only install 495 at first before seeking further approval from supervisors to build the rest.
