IPTVision > Wiring the home, without wires

[TechEffect: Consumer technology news] The receiver uses a unique antenna (pictured below) which the company claims avoids Wi-Fi dead zones, and the receiver receives the signal, then sends it through an ethernet wire to any device which can connect to one. Currently the company derives most of its business from deals with telecom companies overseas who have gained much greater traction with IPTV than their counterparts in the U.S. I've talked about IPTV in the U.S. before, and nothing has made me rethink my views on the impact it will have on the television balance of power, but I do think that Ruckus can find another niche in the U.S. That niche is in integrating Wi-Fi with older, wired components in the home.
