WHDI and other wireless technologies

    Thanks to everyone who has expressed their opinion on the FLOWMASTER. Be sure to take into account all the wishes for more detailed information about the work of the gadget. We will talk in order about everything that will cause the greatest interest.

    Obviously, the most active statements are related to the cost of the FLOWMASTER models. The product so far, indeed, is not available to every consumer, but is aimed at those who are interested in new products and can afford them. However, we do not give up hope that an increase in interest and demand for the product will entail a reduction in the cost of components (which neither Chinese nor Russian craftsmen have yet learned to make) - this is the chipset of the Israeli company Amimon, which is still the only manufacturer of chips working on technology WHDI. According to all the laws of the genre, the cost of developing a new technology cannot be low.

    Now let's briefly talk about WHDI and other technologies known to us that allow wireless signal transmission.

    The most famous Wi-Fi technology is 802.11n. The transmission speed is 600 Mbps, the transmission range is up to 50 meters. When transmitting a signal, compression is used, due to which, firstly, a delay appears (from 20 ms), and secondly, quite massive equipment is used. The cost of devices running on this technology varies from 7 to 17.5 thousand rubles. (in the Russian Federation).

    One of the varieties of the above Wi-Fi technology is Intel WiDi. Using a device with an Intel chip, you can transfer content with a delay of up to 0.5 seconds. Transfer is carried out only from some laptops that meet certain Intel requirements, special software is needed to work. The cost of the device in Russia is 6-8 thousand rubles.

    The next technology is WirelessHD (WiHD), which is based on SiBEAM chips. The technology boasts high data transfer rates without delay and without compression. The downside is that it transmits up to 15 meters only in the line of sight, in addition, the antenna units are quite massive. The cost of such devices in Russia is also unlikely to be recorded as an advantage; they can be purchased from 15 to 45 thousand rubles.

    WHDI technology is built on the basis of Amimon chips and is capable of transmitting a signal of maximum FullHD quality with 3D support through walls at a distance of up to 30 meters. There is no signal compression, the signal delay is less than 1 ms. Devices can have a compact size, in addition, it is possible to alternately use several transmitters with one receiver. Wireless channel 3 gigabits. Price from 7.5 to 17.5 thousand rubles.

    These advantages forced us to opt for this particular WHDI technology. Therefore, inside each FLOWMASTER is the latest model of the chipset of the Israeli company Amimon.
