AirTies launches Air 4420 to connect IPTV and Hybrid STBs wirelessly to the Internet and home network (20/8/2010)

AirTies, the innovative wireless networking vendor, today announced the launch of the Air 4420, which allows network-enabled TVs/Players as well as IPTV or Hybrid Sat/Cable/DTT STBs to be wirelessly connected to the Internet and home network quickly and safely at the push of a button, enabling the sharing of content like photos, videos and HD video content seamlessly and wirelessly between all network devices.

The Air 4420 wireless devices are installed in pairs, one connected to the IP Gateway and the other to the IPTV set top-box or the ethernet port of a network enabled TV or Player and - at the press of a button - the two will wirelessly connect the TV or the Player to the Internet as well as into your home network without needing to run unsightly cables. For homes with multiple TVs in upstairs rooms, wireless repeaters can be added to extend the wireless range and their settings will be automatically propagated to all network devices using AirTies’ wireless mesh technology.

Unlike alternative wireless solutions that suffer from interference, the Air 4420 operates at 5GHz frequency, offering 22 channels for interference free, high speed 300Mbps wireless networking, allowing users to watch High Definition video, listen to music or view photos at high speeds. Link reliability technology guarantees zero packet loss and with AirTies Dynamic Channel Change technology, the device continually monitors for the best channel to deliver the highest quality of service for wireless video or Web TV viewing, ensuring quality of service to the customer with near-zero latency.

The Air 4420 – with the addition of an external USB disk drive - also operates as a UPnP AV compatible media server enabling video, music and photos to be displayed on UPnP AV compatible TVs and Players or served to the entire home network.

Bulent Celebi, AirTies CEO, said: “The Air 4420 device is bringing to the market the next generation of wireless home networking solutions by allowing the consumer to share video content wirelessly around the home network, offering the ability to consume data on whichever medium is most convenient; whether on the PC, TV, or even your game console. Its ‘One Touch’ easy installation removes a significant deployment barrier to operators and makes it viable for mass distribution as a retail product. For the homeowner it removes the need to uproot flooring and install expensive and messy cables; it is the ultimate move forward in making the connected home a reality.”
