The most popular over-the-air modulation is being utilized as defined by 802.11b and 802.11g. Initially within this environment security was rather loose related to some governmental requirements. 802.11n is a new modulation process which utilizes multi-streaming by adding multiple-input and multiple output(MIMO).
The other day we were treated to a presentation on a new Sanyo LCDprojector (PLC-XTC50L). The technology behind the projector was fantastic, but what really grabbed my attention was how Sanyo is utilizing 802.11n in their PJ Net Organizer communications and control architecture.
The concept behind the PJ Net Organization solution was to provide clients an alternate for system control compared to independent control systems delivered through traditional means such as Crestron or AMX. In my opinion, the majority of installations require a dedicated control system, but the PJ Net Organization tool provides an option for a reasonable quantity of applications, in addition addressing Value Engineered solutions.
On the 802.11n wireless network, users connect to the PJ Net Organizer, and are provided a dashboard populated with a host of control, diagnostic, and management tools. The bidirectional communication is enhanced where Sanyo has included a small camera which provides visual feedback of the environment. Now this is not an HD PTZ camera, but it is of sufficient quality to provide visible feedback to a remote location for control adjustments, or management.
While 802.11n is not as new as HDMI 1.4 I think we will begin to see more devices including 802.11n communication solutions.
