SANTA CLARA, CA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
AMIMON, the market leader in wireless HD and universal mobile
connectivity, announced today the opening of its first WHDI Authorized
Testing Center (WHDI ATC) as an essential part of the growth of the
Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) standard and its multi-vendor
ecosystem.
Located in Herzliya, Israel, the WHDI ATC will implement thorough testing
of WHDI products that are changing the way consumers view HD content from
mobile devices by wirelessly delivering interactive HD video from any
device to any display.
"The opening of the WHDI ATC is a key piece for moving the WHDI standard
forward," said David Shefler VP of Marketing, AMIMON. "Many devices have
implemented WHDI technology, but it is only through officially tested
devices bearing the WHDI logo that we can achieve a true multi-vendor
ecosystem."
In the current wireless HD ecosystem, solutions are typically sold as a
locked pair, without the ability to add additional source and display
devices or to interoperate with devices from other manufacturers. By
allowing all devices to connect automatically to each other, WHDI
increases the value of each of the devices in the home.
To ensure the capabilities of WHDI standard products from different
manufacturers, products must meet the WHDI Compliance Test Specification
for compliance, performance and interoperability. Those devices that
withstand the WHDI standard testing requirements will be approved to
carry the WHDI logo, ensuring they are capable of seamlessly connecting
to any other WHDI-approved device.
The WHDI ATC also tests products for quality and range, assuring brands
and their customers that WHDI products are not only compatible with the
standard, but will meet consumer expectations.
"With multiple ODMs and OEMs all bringing a large number of products to
market, WHDI is ready for mass adoption during 2011," said Shlomi Cohen,
WHDI ATC Manager. "Our testing processes and stamp of approval will give
manufacturers, retailers and consumers strong confidence in the WHDI logo
and assurance that these devices will deliver a complete wireless
solution for all their applications."
Manufacturers who are interested in arranging testing of WHDI products
may contact the WHDI ATC at ATC_manage@amimon.com. The WHDI ATC
officially certified product status is available only to members of the
WHDI Consortium. For more information on joining, please visit
