Monster Cable goes wireless with HD kit

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo @ 8:11 am

Monster Cable Products Inc., the company that’s synonymous with expensive video and audio cables, is going wireless.

On Thursday, Monster is introducing a set of two boxes: a receiver that plugs into the back of a high-definition TV and a transmitter that connects to a DVD player or other components of a home entertainment center.

The transmitter can send an HD video signal wirelessly up to 30 feet to the receiver, using so-called ultra-wideband, or UWB, technology from Sigma Designs Inc.

“This is our Monster Cable-less solution,” joked Monster Cable president Noel Lee, in an interview.

The Monster Digital Express HD boxes will be available in October for $299.95 each.
