Look, Ma: No Coax Cable! 3D HD TV over Wi-Fi

As part of our "What's Hot in Tech" series, we go behind the scenes of one of Verizon's labs to test a next generation super WiFi router for IP TV signals.

The routers used in Verizon's tests have successfully transmitted a strong 3D HD FiOS video signal more than 200 feet, including through sheetrock and steel walls.

The wireless routers used connect to soon-to-be-released FiOS TV and Internet media servers that "future-proof" customers by giving them the capability of transmitting 3D HD signals (40 Mbps) anywhere in your home wtihout a loss of video quality.

Too bad Verizon FIOS still gives out G routers.... and I get a mediocre signal through only one wall 20' away. Verizon would much rather see people use lo-fi WiFi than get full-speed. Put in as many network drops as you need or use HomePlug.

I put this out there for all, where does this wireless signal point begin,cell tower? does the homeowner still need an ont (optical network terminal) and a fiber loop

[smsole67]

I would assume just as the BHR is password protected the set top boxes to the wifi access point has something built in to prevent that. As silly as verizon is at times I would hope the engineers have thought of this because one thing is for sure they are always thinking profits
