Intel ViiV Makes Digital Media Easy

Intel announced Wednesday more than 40 entertainment content companies that will be using its new Viiv technology to offer global audiences their choice of digital media on demand and in their living rooms.

Viiv is a technology platform for PCs that can connect televisions, stereos and other consumer electronic products together into one broadband-enabled network, making it possible for all types of digital media to be shared throughout the home legally and manageably.

"This really takes digital entertainment and the PC to the next level," said Kevin Corbett, Intel's Digital Home Group vp and general manager of its Content Services Group. "It's just the beginning, but it is a real beginning. It makes it very simple for the computer to connect to the TV, and that's been one of the missing pieces."

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments. However, with the introduction and rapid adoption of the 6GHz spectrum, compounded by significant advances in Wi-Fi standards, industrial facilities are now poised to embrace wireless LANs as the backbone for automation and digital innovation. Industrial WLAN Market Development Recent research from ABI Research forecasts that over 70 percent of industrial-grade wireless LAN access points (WLAN APs) shipped in 2030 will support the 6GHz band. This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
