Ltd., Sharp Corporation, and Sony Corporation announced that they will be forming what they call a “special interest group” to promote the development of a new industry standard for wireless MRAV and control thru the Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI™).

Dr. Paul Moroney of Motorola, in a prepared statement, said, “WHDI delivers the robust performance that wireless connections must have to meet and exceed consumer demands. This new standard will help ensure optimal video delivery in the home.”
Adds Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, chairman and CEO of AMIMON, “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. The WHDI standard’s objective is to enable an enriched customer experience with multi-vendor interoperability.”
