It all depends on the bandwidth and how good the system is at recovering from errors. It's supposed to use UWB (Ultra-Wide Bandwidth) technology. <a href="http://www.intel.com/technology/comms/uwb/">UWB has a range of up to 10 meters, according to Intel.</a> I don't know what the bandwidth is though. To transport DVD quality video, you need up to 9Mbps, if I remember correctly. For MPEG4 compressed HD, it's about the same. For MPEG2 compressed HD, you need 36Mbps. And those numbers are for steady bandwidth with no dropouts. So the techology's bandwidth would have to be higher than that. Does anyone know what UWB is capable of?

Any idea on quality impact (vs cables)? Distance Limitations? Risks of interference? This is cool. Any idea on quality impact (vs cables)? Distance Limitations? Risks of interference?
