Vubiq Announces Availability of Wireless Uncompressed Video Link Capable of 1.485 Gigabits per Second up to 100 Meters with Zero Latency
Able to transmit through fog, sand, and precipitation, the cost-effective link will be introduced at NAB Show.
ALISO VIEJO, CA, April 14 – Vubiq, Inc. today announced the introduction of its latest product, the VuLink VL300 wireless uncompressed video link. Targeted at the broadcast and professional video markets, this product will eliminate the need for a cable connection for video transport with absolutely no compression or coding of the video stream.
Utilizing the globally unlicensed 60 GHz spectrum, Vubiq has developed both the extremely high frequency radio technology and the baseband modulation technique that combine to create a low cost solution for streaming pure uncompressed HD video at a blazing 1.485 Gbps. "The broadcast industry worldwide has embraced high definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI), but transmission is currently constrained to either using tethered methods or lower bandwidth wireless options that add compression, coding, latency, and bit elimination, which ultimately reduce the quality of the video," said Adam Button, Vubiq’s CEO. "The VuLink VL300 is the only product available that eliminates the need for cabling at a very attractive price, delivering every single bit across the wireless link."
With potential applications for news gathering, indoor/outdoor event coverage, ad hoc networks, building to building links, and more, the VuLink VL300 is designed for fast and easy setup and teardown, with simple, standardized inputs and outputs – and also automatically handles standard definition SDI. Additionally, the directionality of the signal assures virtually no interference and high security.
"Because we are streaming pure uncompressed video, there is no need for additional processing at both ends of the link, which increases cost and latency," stated Mike Pettus, Vubiq’s CTO. "Remarkably, our system is actually faster than fiber – there is essentially zero lag time through the link."
At the NAB Show, Vubiq will be exhibiting the VL300 with Leader Instruments in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth C5531.
Vubiq Announces Availability of World’s First 60 GHz
Integrated Radio on a Chip – Smaller Than a Dime
Integrated solution will accelerate progress in Wireless HD Video, Wireless Gigabit LANs, and WPAN.
ALISO VIEJO, CA, Feb. 19 – Vubiq, Inc. today announced the availability of its 60 GHz integrated radio solution, enabling commercial, government, and academic institutions to utilize the unlicensed 57-64 GHz band for application development. Vubiq’s tiny radio modules (patent pending), packaged in a 10mm BGA, combine 60 GHz transmitters and receivers with integrated antennas, and are available in a cost-effective development system. "We have created the world’s first commercially available millimeter wave integrated radios and development system, which will open the floodgates for worldwide development of the next generation of extremely high speed wireless products, including wireless uncompressed high definition video, wireless local area and personal area networks, instantaneous file transfer, low cost radar, and many others," stated Adam Button, Vubiq’s CEO. "Just as we saw an incredible maturation of applications in the microwave (1 to 10 GHz) spectrum in the last decade, we will experience a similar explosion of millimeter wave (10 to 100 GHz) development in the next, and Vubiq will play a strong leadership role in that growth." The 60 GHz band, allocated for unlicensed use worldwide, allows for universal solutions.
"Utilizing Vubiq’s millimeter wave expertise, we have built low cost integrated radios that will enable high volume production," stated Mike Pettus, Vubiq’s CTO. "High speed baseband signals are interconnected directly to the radios, allowing up to 1.5 GHz modulation bandwidth at 60 GHz."
Vubiq’s development system includes a 60 GHz transmitter board and 60 GHz receiver board, each with a USB controller. Embedded control firmware and a simple GUI interface are included, easing setup and operation. Developers can now focus on their specific applications, unencumbered by hardware limitations.
Vubiq is now accepting orders. The basic development system is available, and additional transmitter and receiver boards and BGAs will also be available for purchase, as well as an optional Expansion Kit to allow for coaxial connections.
