WNHDB3004 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit NETGEAR has announced start of shipments for its 5 GHz 4X4 MIMO wireless media networking kit.

The company says its WNHDB3004 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit is the" first solution capable of reliably delivering jitter-free 1080p high-definition video streams".

Introduced this past January at CES, the kit uses wireless technology from Quantenna Communications that uses a combination of 4X4 MIMO, Maximal Ratio Combining, Space Time Block Coding and dynamic digital beamforming to increase signal gain and therefore performance. (See our preview for more information and a first look at performance.)

The WNHDB3004 kit includes a pair of adapters, which operate in the 5 GHz band only, and will be shipping by the end of this month. MSRP is $259 for the kit, with individual WNHD3004 adapters also available for $129.

Firetide announces ‘Fastest’ Indoor / Outdoor Mesh gear

Wireless mesh company Firetide today announced its new HotPort 6000 indoor and outdoor mesh nodes featuring a dual radio backhaul.

The HotPort 6000 mesh nodes feature high-powered radios that support both licensed and unlicensed bands, eliminating the need to purchase and install separate radios for each spectrum. Bandwidth for both radios can be combined to provide 70 Mbps throughput for "fat" point-to-point backhaul links or for high-resolution video surveillance networks. The radios can also be set to deliver a sustained 35 Mbps bandwidth across an unlimited number of hops if a multi-hop or linear network topology is required.
