More HDTV Homenet Chips
Celeno Communications, a startup artful a variant of Wi-Fi chips geared for video, has closed a $16 million funding direct led by Cisco Systems, reports EE Times.
Celeno is currently sampling a 5 GHz intercede set for carrying video over at rates up to 34 Mbits/gal Friday and distances up to 120 feet, according to the troop. The new funding will help the company accouterments up sales and marketing for the current shard and design efforts on a second-fathering.
Celeno competes with Amimon, another Israel-based morsel startup with a similar goal. Amimon is shipping a 5 GHz interfere that uses a novel encoding attitude to deliver video throughout a home.
Celeno says its baseband uses trestle-forming MIMO and “trough aware” approaches can throw as much as 10 times the range and as much as twice the throughput of 802.11n chips, but has not described positively how its approach works.
