Can I transport CobraNet audio over a wireless network?
CobraNet has been demonstrated to work over at least one wireless Ethernet system, Tsunami from Proxim Wireless Networks. Infrared transmission systems from several manufacturers are believed to work as well since these are essentially simple fiber optic systems without the fiber! We have recently done some experimentation with 802.11b WiFi wireless Ethernet. Even under best case laboratory conditions we found this technology did not provide adequate bandwidth for most CobraNet applications. Additionally network performance was not stable enough to meet the real time requirements of CobraNet.
