Pace Micro Technology is demonstrating how 802.16 wireless delivery
to the home can be combined with 802.11
distribution
in the home to provide operators with a truly wireless content delivery solution.
Pace is teaming up with Metalink and Runcom (
News -
Alert) Technologies to enable this demonstration of WiMAX
.
The demonstration consists of a server unit in the home. Using Pace’s Connections Suite software this unit connects wirelessly to an external WiMAX (

Alert) base station and then delivers broadband content—either video or data or both—via WiFi
to home devices including set-top boxes, mobile phones and PCs.
According to Darren Fawcett, chief technologist of Pace’s wireless systems division, WiMAX
is still an emerging technology but it promises to revolutionise the broadband market and open up a whole range of opportunities for payTV operators and telcos.
Fawcett said that it is the flexibility inherent in the WiMAX system, its agility in adaptive modulation and advanced link coding that enable it to reduce operator expenditure costs while improving throughput and range.
“These innovative solutions are based on Metalink’s WLANPlus, a high-throughput IEEE
802.11n-compliant wireless LAN technology,” said Barry Volinskey, vice president Marketing at Metalink, in a statement.
Volinskey continued: “ WLANPlus offers the industry ‘Low Packet Error Rate’, which is essential for robust video delivery, providing a reliable foundation for the provision of wireless triple-play and entertainment networks with multiple simultaneous HD video streams and extended coverage.”
Israel Koffman, vice president of Marketing at Runcom Technologies added that the co-operation with Pace is a very important step in the evolution of Runcom's OFDMA powered products that include a wide variety of commercial products available worldwide.
