  • Patent number: 11943843
    Abstract: A network device includes: a radio configured to operate in a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band; a 32 bit double data rate (DDR) memory having instructions stored therein; a system clock configured to operate at 533 MHz; and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the instructions stored on the memory to cause the network device to: operate the 32 bit DDR memory at 1067 MHz; instruct the radio to transmit data to be transmitted in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band; and instruct the radio to receive data to be received in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130111536
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for enabling non-IP-encapsulated videos to be received at subscriber premises and displayed on IP playback devices are provided. A terminal adapter receives a non-IP-encapsulated video at a subscriber premise and transcodes the video to a format that can be processed by the IP playback device. The terminal adapter IP-encapsulates the transcoded video and then routes the IP-encapsulated video to the IP playback device. In this way, the processing to convert non-IP-encapsulated videos stored on video servers is not concentrated at a central location but instead distributed across subscriber premises. Furthermore, congestion on the downstream link can be reduced because videos in a video server are not required to be transmitted downstream under two different schemes.
