SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Rotani, Inc., a leading developer and designer of future generation wireless networking solutions, today announced the release of AirReferee(TM), a next-generation WiFi access point technology that makes any 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) interference-resistant. AirReferee(TM) is a turnkey OEM access point reference design, providing the uninterrupted throughput needed for multiple video streams, online gaming, VoIP and other latency and throughput-sensitive applications.

"The very popularity of WiFi has caused one of its biggest challenges -- signal interference, also known as noise," said Roc Lastinger, president and chief technical officer of Rotani. "As hundreds of thousands of WiFi access points are sold each month, the problem of overlap with adjacent systems escalades rapidly. This problem is especially acute in apartment complexes, office buildings and even residential neighborhoods where multiple wireless networks co-exist in close proximity.

Performance Amid Density

AirReferee(TM) enables a new age of WiFi practicality when service providers and consumers alike are demanding WiFi for throughput- and latency- sensitive applications such as IPTV (digital TV), Video on Demand (VOD), Internet radio, online gaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), as well as to connect media center PCs and TVs via home networks.

To solve this challenge, Rotani's AirReferee(TM) technology combines a multi-radio architecture with a patented integral antenna and operational method. Without AirReferee(TM), maximizing range and throughput work against a reduction in interference. Rotani's exceptional noise-resistant properties produces AirReferee's groundbreaking performance differential and improves data rates up to 8 times faster over conventional access points in real-life environments.

"AirReferee(TM) is both unique and a complementary solution for its segment," noted Lastinger. "Nothing in the WiFi industry matches the cost/performance benefits of AirReferee(TM). As telcos, consumer electronics companies, wireless systems designers and others work to realize the broadband 'slam dunk' of data, TV, Video on Demand and VoIP, AirReferee(TM) can ensure the clear, sustained transmission rates that make those next-generation applications possible."

Licensing

Rotani is making AirReferee(TM) hardware and software reference designs available via licensing agreement to OEMs and ODMs. For more information about Rotani and its AirReferee access point technology, visit http://www.rotani.com/ or email sales@rotani.com.
