HDTV Over Wi-Fi Demo at CES

You know, I'm just waiting for the day that streaming HDTV over Wi-Fi is a reality. It's getting closer with Ruckus Wireless planning a demonstration of their technology at the upcoming CES in January. According to their press release:

Ruckus Wireless will show how advances in wireless computer networking now make it possible to reliably transmit multiple HDTV, DTV and IPTV streams over a standard in-home 802.11g Wi-Fi network. With the new smart Wi-Fi technology developed by Ruckus Wireless, consumers can extend the freedom and flexibility of wireless to their in-home video systems, TVs and other set-top-boxes with the reliability and stability offered by wired alternatives. Demonstrations will include, for example, reliably transmitting high definition digital video content from a media center system over 802.11g to a media extender for viewing on a TV.

No details yet on cost or release date. We'll keep you posted.
