IRVINE, CA - Comtrend Corporation, a global supplier of advanced
networking solutions, today announced the release of its newest
BeamLink Wireless Video Adapter. The BeamLink WAP-5834 utilizes a

Now available to service
providers in North America, the BeamLink Wireless Video Adapter is
powered by the new Celeno CL1820 802.11n high performance chipset
which can provide up to 120Mbps video throughput with zero packet
error rate. BeamLink supports up to four different concurrent HD
streams and includes a robust carrier-grade feature set.
BeamLink provides a high-quality, HD IPTV
video experience along with whole home networking coverage free of
dead spots. BeamLink provides unique and cost-effective multi-client
scalability for service providers while eliminating the cost and
hassle of installing new cabling throughout the home. The ease of
self-installation does away with expensive truck rolls -- simply
connect one BeamLink device to your gateway and one to your IP set
top box (up to four). The resulting IPTV home network allows
subscribers to enjoy simple connectivity of multiple HD video
sources (such as IPTV, Video-on-Demand, stored content on DVR)
between multiple TVs in the home.
"The success of the original BeamLink adapter is now closely
followed by an enhanced product that provides even higher throughput
to support the demand of today's multimedia home," says John
Castreje, General Manager for Comtrend. "The new BeamLink WAP-5834
continues to give exceptional coverage for HD video streams
throughout the entire home and is the perfect fit for service
providers looking for a future-proof, single-box solution."
"Today's service providers must offer multi-room DVR and
Video-on-Demand in order to deliver a personalized viewing
experience to consumers," said Lior Weiss, Celeno VP of Marketing.
"We are delighted that Comtrend selected Celeno's second-generation
chipset for the distribution of multimedia and entertainment content
in the home with full support for the latest applications in IPTV
and best-in-class performance. Wi-Fi allows for fast, flexible and
cost-effective implementations."
Through OptimizAIR™ technology, BeamLink leverages the wide 5GHz
spectrum, employing special interference immunity technologies and
selecting available channels on the fly. Up to four TV screens can
receive different and concurrent HD streams with guaranteed quality
of service, consistently and independently of the infrastructure
type or quality of the existing wires in the home. Unique Beam
Forming MIMO technology keeps the radiated energy to a bare minimum
across the home as well as in neighboring apartments.
