Leaders in Consumer Electronics and Wireless High-Definition Video Delivery to Discuss the Next Wave of Wireless

SANTA CLARA, CA, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
AMIMON, Hitachi Ltd., Motorola Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sharp
Corporation and Sony Corporation today announced the formation of a
special interest group to develop a comprehensive new industry standard
for multi-room audio, video and control connectivity utilizing Wireless
Home Digital Interface (WHDI(TM)) technology. The group's intention is to
complete the new standard in 2008.

A key ingredient of WHDI technology is a revolutionary video-modem that
operates in the 5GHz unlicensed band to enable robust wireless delivery of
uncompressed HD video (including 1080p). WHDI allows secure, encrypted HD
video delivery through multiple rooms and other potential signal
obstructions, such as people and furniture, while maintaining superb
quality and robustness with less than one-millisecond latency.

The objective of this special interest group is to enhance the current
WHDI technology to enable wireless streaming of uncompressed HD video and
audio between CE devices such as LCD and plasma HDTVs, multimedia
projectors, A/V receivers, DVD and BD players, set-top boxes (STBs), game
consoles, and PCs. The new interoperable standard aims to ensure that CE
devices manufactured by different vendors will simply and directly
connect to one another.

"WHDI technology complements other wireless and wired standards with a new
class of connectivity within the home," said Dr. David Lee, the founder of
the HDMI(TM) standard and a member of AMIMON's board of directors. "WHDI's
connectivity matrix introduces to consumers new possibilities to enjoy
their high-definition entertainment network."

"WHDI delivers the robust performance that wireless connections must have
to meet and exceed consumer demands," offered Dr. Paul Moroney of
Motorola. "This new standard will help ensure optimal video delivery in
the home."

"The development of the new standard will ensure that when consumers
purchase CE devices and take them home, they will enjoy a fast, easy and
hassle-free wireless connection that delivers the highest quality," said
Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, chairman and CEO of AMIMON. "The WHDI standard's
objective is to enable an enriched customer experience with multi-vendor
interoperability."
