Alereon NoWire

Released January, 2010

The Alereon NoWire is a wireless top HDTV extender kit that can transmit video content—such as a movie, Skype video transmission, or hulu TV show—from a laptop to a television without any pesky wires. The kit is composed of two devices: a PC USB transmitter and an HDTV HDMI receiver. Both devices connect to their respective units (transmitter-->PC, receiver-->HDTV) via USB. Once hooked up, the device can transmit 720p video content from up to 30’ away. More importantly, the NoWire kit supports UWB Band Groups 1, 3, and 6, meaning that it can be used globally. Signature to the Alereon NoWire is that it can also be used with a cell phone, digital camera, or digital video camera; the sky’s the limit. Unfortunately, the unit is only available to OEMs.
