Wireless for streaming media

According to CNet: "The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers said Wednesday it has finished the 802.15.3 standard, ensuring that digital content streamed over a wireless network will have a "guaranteed level of service," said Robert Heile, chairman of the IEEE's 802.15 working group and chief technology officer of Appairent."

The standard allows data to be transmitted 100 yards at 55Mbps in the 2.4GHz frequency band and "was designed to coexist with other wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth and 802.11, or Wi-Fi."
