-- Internet has become the number one source for video and other types of
content. Watching online video outranks many other online activities today
(amongst American adults, more than 60% of Internet users watch video
online). Television channels, news clips and a myriad of video clips, from
pure fun to product user guides, all are available at online popular sites
such as YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Video, MLB, etc.
Recently, for the first time for a show this size, a U2 concert was
streamed live online and about 100 million users watched it in its
entirety for free... on YouTube!
-- Laptop PCs are more popular than desktop PCs. The market share for
laptops is increasing at the expense of desktop PCs.
-- Laptop PCs screens have become smaller. While mobility is enhanced
with smaller-sized laptops/netbooks, it becomes ever harder to watch
content for a long period of time or share content with others, due to
small screens.
-- Laptop PCs store personal information. Photos from our digital still
cameras, clips from our camcorders -- they are all stored in our laptop
PCs.
-- HDTVs have become affordable and very popular. With their digital
interfaces, flat TVs, which are now commonly found at homes and offices
alike, enable new user experience and displaying of content far beyond
traditional TV channels via cable or terrestrial broadcast.

Jeff Ravencraft, President and Chairman of the USB Implementers Forum:
"Wireless USB is a great technology to address the emerging trend of PC and
home theater convergence. The launch of new consumer products based on
Wisair's Wireless USB solution by several vendors around the world as well
as in leading online stores and retail chains, demonstrates the consumer
demand for an easy to use, high data rate, wireless connection. Wireless
USB delivers the performance and capabilities required for a new generation
of products that allow consumers to extend their PC experience into the
living room."
Lisa Arrowsmith, Market Analysts at IMS Research
"The clear trends of how Internet content is consumed by users, the small
form factor of laptops and the popularity of flat TVs, call for a
convenient, easy to use wireless connection between laptops and TVs. This
is where Wireless USB plays a lead role as it allows for such connectivity
even with heavy content. Size and cost are low and it operates
simultaneously with the wireless home or office network. This is why
'Wireless Laptop to TV' could well be the killer application for Wireless
USB. Wisair's Laptop to HDTV solution enables vendors to offer what seems
to be one of the coolest products in 2009, with great potential for 2010."
David Yaish, Wisair President and CEO
"We see huge demand for our Wireless Audio-Video solution in a growing
number of vendors who wish to launch Wireless Laptop to HDTV products based
on it. Users clearly require this product, as there is no simple way to
connect any Laptop to any HDTV, and to get access to the ENTIRE Internet On
TV. Wisair will be offering enhanced versions of this solution, including
support higher resolutions of Full HD and beyond and also MAC OS for Apple
platforms. Our current solution is a perfect fit to today's HD content
availability for PC, the mainstream laptop configuration and the video
capabilities of fast Internet."
