BeComm's technology enables appliances that are faster, leaner, smarter, and can be built with fewer resources, allowing manufacturers to go to market quickly with low-cost appliance solutions. There are those technology savvy folks that dream of a house with a stereo system hooked to the Internet that will play any song available for download at anytime. And for those who'd like to have an office away from the office, their dream is of a house with a webpad, a television and a handheld acting as video phones to make working from home a reality. Redmond, WA-based BeComm Corporation just launched Strings version 1, the first technology to seamlessly unify networking, multimedia and communications for the home. Strings heralds in the era of truly intelligent media appliances.
Strings allows appliances to leverage the capabilities of other appliances within the network.
For example, a user can listen to an MP3 on a PDA by accessing the processing power of their PC to decode the MP3, or viewing the HTML from a Webcast TV program on a handheld appliance. Strings-enabled appliances are faster, leaner, smarter and more efficient. With Strings controlling your home network, you decide where and how to receive content. For example, you are participating in a video conference call with your relatives in Colorado on your television and you want to move upstairs to your den, you can route that picture and sound onto your webpad with just a few clicks. Strings then determines, behind the scenes, that the color must be stripped out and sent over an RF link to the pad and shrunk to fit the smaller screen.
