Five consumer electronics companies have apparently decided to support Amimon's variation on the 802.11n spec to transmit HD video around the house with a 100m (330ft) range. The Wireless Home Digital Interface special interest group aims to define the spec by the end of the year, and Amimon plans to ship a chipset for the spec when it is released.

The companies on board are:

• Hitachi
• Motorola
• Samsung Electronics
• Sharp
• Sony

whom I am sure you agree are heavy weights in the electronics industry.

The spec will supposedly support full uncompressed 1080p transmission over 20-40MHz channels, and will use some form of HDCP.
