IBC 2007 – AMSTERDAM MPEG encoder specialist Envivio and UK network provider National Grid Wireless have set-up a WiMAX network that covers all 12 halls of the Rai conference and exhibition centre, delivering streamed TV, alongside VoIP and data, for the duration of the show.
Envivio and National Grid hope to show operators how WiMAX TV can reach the three screens of TV, PC and mobile phone. Box manufacturer Pace is showing WiMAX set-top-boxes based on Metalink wireless chipsets.
