Ruckus Wireless is promising to unveil world's first smart Wi-Fi 802.11n multimedia system at CES in January.

We'd settly for a plain ol' dumb but ratified 802.11n - but hey ho.

The Ruckus Wireless demonstration at CES will showcase, for the first time, remarkable advances in Wi-Fi technology that make it possible to reliably transport many HDTV streams, digital voice, music and data throughout the home without costly and cumbersome cabling. 

Current products based on draft 802.11n specification allow devices to transmit at speeds greater than 70 Mbps, but they all have problems sustaining the high performance at far distances, challenging locations or in noisy environments.   

The Ruckus "Smart-N" technology rejects noise and delivers consistent throughput regardless of location and device placement.  By combining the award-winning Ruckus BeamFlex smart antenna technology and SmartCast traffic engineering software with commercial 802.11n silicon, the Ruckus Smart-N system automatically adapts to environmental challenges such as physical obstacles and radio noise to maximise sustainable throughput and minimise performance variability.
