BE LABS, Inc. Announces Successful Test of Wireless Multimedia System Prototype Hailed as Technology Breakthrough.Business & Technology Editors EAST MEADOW East Meadow, uninc. residential and commercial city (1990 pop. 36,609), Nassau co., SE N.Y., on W Long Island. , N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002 BE LABS, Inc. announced today that it has successfully completed a prototype test of its patented WMS WMS Warehouse Management System WMS Web Map Service (open geospatial consortium specification) WMS West Middle School (Rochester Hills, MI) WMS Workforce Management Software WMS Wechsler Memory Scale (Wireless Multimedia System). BE LABS' WMS is a within-the-home ultra-wideband, wireless delivery system for multiple high quality streaming video, data and audio sources. Commenting on the importance of the tests, company President Uriel Berchin stated "This is a major milestone. We successfully transmitted a DVD-quality video signal through concrete walls and steel girders in a residential environment, wirelessly, from a distance of approximately 150 feet." In addressing the problems others have had in attempting and failing at this accomplishment, Mr. Berchin noted, "Due to BE LABS' patented technology, there was no degradation detected in the signal at any time. We had numerous other pieces of electronic equipment operating at the same time in an effort to determine if there was any signal interference; there was none. Based upon this successful test, we are confident that we can successfully transmit an HDTV-quality signal, within a range of 300 feet without the requirement of line-of-sight, achieving similar results." WMS was developed to replace the aging wired set-top boxes for cable and satellite TV services. Additionally, it will provide support for high speed Internet Access and cordless phones on one transparent platform. As such, the system is an all-encapsulating multimedia gateway and home/office center, adaptable to single or multiple unit dwellings. This Smart-Card controlled system will allow for multiple wireless TVs, up to 300ft.away, within any given structure, allowing each TV set to access a main picture and PiP (Picture-in-Picture). This ability extends beyond the Analog and Digital standards of the present (NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. , PAL, SECAM (SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire, Sequential Color with Memory) A color TV standard from France that was officially introduced in 1967. Although development began in 1956, it took time to convert from the earlier French 819-line system. , DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) An international digital television (DTV) standard that is the European and Far Eastern counterpart of the North American ATSC standard. , etc.) to full support of the HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates digital broadcasting standards of the near future. WMS supports VoD (Video on Demand), Interactive TV (WebTV), telephony system, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), etc. WMS requires no changes or additions to existing infrastructure, (cable, satellite, fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , etc.), and simultaneously supports all communication standards (DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary , POTS for phone and modem services). According to the Company's financial advisor, Shimmy Weiss (shimmyw@belabs.com), "the success of the Company is dependant upon receiving a positive response from investors who are currently reviewing the business plan. We have yet to receive a commitment for funds from `the right partners', which will take us to the next crucial level". (Wireless Multimedia System and WMS are service marks of BE LABS, Inc.) |
