Monster Cable goes wireless with HD kit
Monster Cable Products Inc., the company that's synonymous with expensive video and audio cables, is going wireless. On Thursday, Monster is introducing a set of two boxes: a receiver that plugs into the back of a high-definition TV and a transmitter that connects to a DVD player or other components of a home entertainment center. The transmitter can send an HD video signal wirelessly up to 30 feet to the receiver, using so-called ultra-wideband, or UWB, technology from Sigma Designs Inc.
"This is our Monster Cable-less solution," joked Monster Cable president Noel Lee, in an interview. The Monster Digital Express HD boxes will be available in October for $299.95 each. Wireless HD connections are a hot field in consumer electronics, with many companies trying different technologies to solve the problem of maintaining a steady flow of wireless data at very high speeds. Ultra-wideband, a relatively novel technology, is a leading contender.
