multimedia Wi-Fi home networking applications, today announced that
the leading triple-play service provider in Slovenia and Croatia,

Celeno Wi-Fi technology
provides self-installation features that let us dramatically reduce
costs associated with IPTV home installations, effectively allowing
us to speed up the expansion rate of our IPTV service,' said Botjan
Koak, Amis CEO. 'Our goal is to give our customers the flexibility
to enjoy our service wherever they like in their homes. The Celeno
carrier-grade wireless chipsets allow us to achieve just that.'
'We are very pleased to have been selected by Amis Telekom and to
provide wireless IPTV to their subscribers,' said Gilad Rozen,
Celeno CEO. 'Our continued success proves the robustness and quality
of our Wi-Fi technology. We will continue our efforts to offer
service providers globally the carrier-grade home networking
infrastructure for advanced wireless HD video distribution.'
The 'AmisTV2.0' service offers VoD, network PVR and time shifting of
the 30 most popular TV channels, allowing viewers to watch their
favorite TV content on their own terms. The service runs on a hybrid
network that combines IPTV content managed by Amis, with free-to-air
digital terrestrial broadcasts.
Celeno's Technology
Celeno's Wi-Fi chipset, powered by the
OptimizAIR' technology suite, improves standards-based Wi-Fi to
deliver robust HD video with whole-home coverage. It achieves up to
10 times the range and throughput compared to legacy 802.11n
solutions while maintaining a robust signal with effectively no
packet loss.
The OptimizAir' feature set includes the first field-proven Implicit
Transmit Digital Beamforming MIMO technique, which enables live,
concurrent streaming of multiple HD streams to the edge of the
house, reliably and cost effectively. By using phased array
radar-like signal processing techniques, it delivers the Wi-Fi
signals directly to the targeted set-top boxes, fighting off
interferences without polluting neighboring apartments or systems
with unnecessary transmit energy.
