CWave(TM) UWB Digital Home Connectivity Solution Enables Multiple Industry Firsts for CES

CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 3 -- Pulse~LINK will showcase its Gigabit-rate CWave(TM) Ultra Wideband (UWB) platform featuring wireless and wired High Definition audio/video connectivity, HD gaming, and multimedia PC applications at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 5-8, in Las Vegas.

Demonstrations include the industry's first wireless DVI/HDMI equivalent; ultra-low latency wireless HD gaming between an Xbox 360(R) and a HDTV; wireless PC to HDTV Flat Panel connections; and the first ever UWB over coax solution capable of supporting IEEE 1394 S400 (400 Mbps) throughput for whole-home connectivity.

Pulse~LINK's CWave(TM) UWB digital home connectivity solution enables simultaneous streaming of multiple HDTV programs, high quality multi-channel audio, and high speed data throughout the home. The PLK23300 is the first UWB chipset to deliver Gigabit data rates both wirelessly and over in-home wired media. Breakthrough applications include wireless DVI/HDMI and 1394 for real-time visually lossless HDTV and the ability to provide an interactive wireless connection between HD video game consoles and HD displays. Pulse~LINK's PLK23300 chipset samples will be available for wireless and coax solutions beginning Q1 2006.

"Imagine seamlessly connecting the large screen Flat Panel display in your living room to all the other multimedia devices in your home -- from the DVD in the bedroom to the video camera in the family room and more. Or, walking into your living room with your laptop and with the push of a button everything displayed on your laptop screen is wirelessly sent to your Flat Panel display for viewing. These are some of the many CWave(TM) technology applications we will be debuting at CES," states John Santhoff, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Pulse~LINK. "Pulse~LINK's CWave(TM) technology is enabling a paradigm shift in the home entertainment industry by delivering a converged, hybrid wired and wireless network capable of Gigabit data rates and real-time, deterministic delivery of digital content throughout the home."

Pulse~LINK will feature its CWave(TM) UWB connectivity in multiple partner booths throughout CES 2006. Industry Firsts for CES include:

First Wireless Video Connectivity Between a Laptop PC and a HDTV Flat Panel Display:

Pulse~LINK will demonstrate real-time, interactive, wireless HDTV video between a laptop PC and a HDTV Flat Panel display. Using the features of the laptop PC, the demonstration will show the wireless streaming of DVD movies, interactive computer video gaming, Internet browsing, and real-time interactive editing of word processing and spreadsheet documents on the Flat Panel display. These demonstrations highlight the low-latency, high bandwidth connection of the CWave(TM) wireless link with no perceivable latency between keyboard and mouse inputs and the wireless display. Pulse~LINK will also feature demonstrations of HDTV via CWave(TM) over electrical wiring in the private demo room.

First Real-Time Interactive Wireless Gaming Console:

Pulse~LINK will conduct demonstrations of an Xbox(R) 360 featuring High Definition video gaming connected wirelessly to a Flat Panel HDTV display. The Xbox(R) 360 will be connected during active HD game play to two High Definition displays, one which will receive its signal directly via the component video cables currently shipping with the Xbox(R), the other display will receive its signal wirelessly using Pulse~LINK's CWave(TM) UWB radios. The side-by-side wireless versus wired displays showcase the "wired equivalency" of CWave(TM) wireless UWB.

First Public Demonstration of CWave(TM) Over Coax:

The High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) will be showcasing Pulse~LINK's CWave(TM) UWB technology over coax and 1394 S400. The demonstration will feature HDTV audio and video streams bi-directionally between the 1394 Trade Association and Pulse~LINK booths in the HANA suite. The presentation highlights Pulse~LINK's CWave(TM) platform over coax cable as a broadband backbone for transporting digital content to 1394-equipped devices throughout the home. The current demo supports 400Mbps at the application layer over 100 meters with the ability to scale to a full Gigabit at shorter distances. These data rates illustrate why CWave(TM) is the fastest solution available anywhere for broadband connectivity within the home.
