Ensation For Wireless Audio Announced
Just what we need is another wireless technology to confuse us. According to Commdesign.com, Royal Phillips Elecrtronics is unveiling a wireless technology called Ensation (sounds like another horny old-guy pill) which is designed for high-end audio. According to the article:
Philips' Ensation is a long-range, point-to-multipoint wireless technology with built-in features to ensure high-quality streaming audio. Ensation offers a variable net audio bit rate that can be set by system designers. Depending on required audio quality, its transmission data rate is between 150 and 500 kbits/second, according to Philips.
Ensation operates at a distance of about 30 meters indoors, assuming solid walls and concrete floors, as the range for speaker applications with 10-milliwatt transmit power. In contrast, Bluetooth needs about 100-mW transmit power to cover a home, according to Philips, as there is no 10-mW mode available in standard defined classes.
