Rotani Claims to Solve Wi-Fi Interference Problems

Another small startup is making a ruckus with technology it claims can solve Wi-Fi interference problems. Earlier this summer, Rotani, a Scottsdale, Arizona company, released reference designs for its patent-pending AirReferee technology, which it says makes 11g Wi-Fi networks interference-resistant and able to deliver consistent throughput of 35 Mbps even in densely populated wireless environments. Today, Rotani launched a product, VideoPuck, that targets the IPTV market specifically. VideoPuck is software that can be added to the firmware of standard access points and set-top boxes. It addresses the interference issues as well as problems with running multicast signals over Wi-Fi.
