Motorola Ventures Funds Amimon, A Wireless HDTV Startup

Press Release - March 15, 2007

Motorola Ventures, the venture capital arm of America’s largest handset maker, has invested in in Amimon, a small U.S.-Israeli company that specializes in wireless HDTV.

Amimon received some press coverage back in January when its wireless high-definition interface (WHDI) was showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The new technology facilitates the uncompressed wireless transmission of high-definition television content to flat-panel TV sets and PCs, and is compatible with other high-speed interfaces such as HDMI and VGA graphics display systems.

Motorola is now providing Amimon with an undisclosed amount of investment funding, joining other tech heavyweights like Apple and Samsung who have also been expressing confidence in the digital home entertainment market.
