AirTies Partners with Quantenna to Deliver Wireless HD Video Streaming with Unparalleled Range and Performance

AirTies, the innovative wireless networking and set-top box vendor, is partnering with Quantenna Communications, Inc., a leader in ultra-reliable Wi-Fi networking for whole-home entertainment, to build High Definition video streaming solutions for the home with unmatched range and performance. The state-of-the-art wireless video performance of Quantenna's 802.11n 4x4 MIMO chipset combined with AirTies' MAC-level distribution software enables solutions that are capable of flawlessly delivering multiple simultaneous HD video streams in the home through as many as three concrete floors.

"The biggest challenges in wireless video streaming have always been how to mitigate interference and penetrate concrete walls," said Metin Taskin, chief innovation officer at AirTies. "Through their combined resources, Quantenna and AirTies have successfully overcome these problems. Our tests show a performance level that outstrips anything available in today's market in terms of quality, range and reliability. We're hugely optimistic about the potential impact of our combined research on the wireless home networking marketplace."

"We are pleased to be collaborating with AirTies on these new APs for broadband home entertainment," said Lionel Bonnot, vice president of sales and business development at Quantenna. "AirTies has built a strong reputation for optimizing 802.11n innovation using dual-mode concurrent architectures and other proprietary enhancements, and we are very excited about how so then the AirTies platform performs using our 4x4 MIMO chipsets with advanced beamforming and channel-optimization capabilities."

Quantenna's powerful silicon combined with AirTies' video distribution innovation overcomes typical problems traditionally associated with wireless video distribution, just as lost packets, jitter and latency. The chipsets operate in the 5GHz frequency band to avoid interference, and utilize dynamic digital beamforming along with channel management to regularly scan all available channels for noise, interference and traffic and at the time select the optimal route for interference-free multi-channel, HD video streaming.

Offering a choice of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections, the new AirTies wireless APs enable IP gateways to be wirelessly connected to set-top boxes or connected TVs. They as well enable IP gateways to act as wireless repeaters so that additional TVs, PCs, iPads or gaming devices can be connected to a wireless network and used to stream multiple HD video channels around the home, without pixelation or interference.

The Air 4610/1

The Air 4610/1 and Air 4640/1 APs as well feature remote management software compliant with TR-111 and TR-069 standards. Even greater range can be achieved using AirTies' patented AirTouch research, which allows clients to self-install a mesh network in the home, including handling all network security and SSID settings. The customer simply presses a single button, simultaneously, on each of the devices to be linked. AirTies' AirTouch technology as well allows Automatic Configuration Sharing, in which any changes to a node's wireless configuration are automatically sent to all nodes in the network. The company's new generation of wireless video devices as well complies with the Code of Conduct standard, attesting to their low energy consumption.

AirTies develops and markets consumer electronics products which provide 5 fundamental services for service providers, small businesses and consumers.
