Ultra Wideband (UWB) semiconductor vendor, Pulse~LINK, will demonstrate its CWave UWB Ethernet-Over-Coax solution for whole-home HD video distribution next week at The Cable Show 2008 in New Orleans, LA. The "no new wires" solution extends Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a home's existing coaxial cabling, making it a potentially cost-effective method for deploying whole-home DVR functionality.

Pulse~LINK's Ethernet-Over-Coax solution offer's coexistence with other signals on the same coax cable, including broadcast video services from a local cable company and MoCA technology. The CWave Ethernet-Over-Coax platform networks up to nine HD multimedia content source and display devices throughout a user's home, with end-to-end QoS over existing coax cabling and splitters, eliminating the high expense of re-wiring a home with Ethernet cables.

In addition to its Ethernet-Over-Coax solution, Pulse~LINK will also demo its room-to-room HD video streaming solution with its HDMI-Over-Coax and 1394-Over-Coax solutions, as well as its CWave Wireless-for-HDMI for single-room wireless applications at the show May 18th-20th.

Pulse~LINK supports a variety of industry groups including the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), which uses Ethernet for home networking, and the High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA), which leverages 1394 to network HD content throughout the home. Pulse~LINK is also a Promoter Member of the recently launched HomeGrid Forum, formed to promote and influence a single, next-generation worldwide standard for networking digital content over home wiring.

According to Pulse~LINK, its CWave UWB technology was validated in independent testing as the world's fastest commercially available "no new wires" solution for HD video distribution.
