It’s a Wireless World: Panasonic to launch Wireless HD HDTVs shortly

Panasonic has completed plans for its WirelessHD equipped HDTV to begin selling in the UK now that Ofcom has opened up the radio spectrum for use by all manufacturer that it needs to function properly, and possibly the world of Wireless HD programming may be launching its lifeboat into the wired seas.

Here’s the quick skinny: manufacturers needed to get permission to use a part of the wireless spectrum, but now anyone should be able to use the required 57-66GHz range, needed for no-wires HD to work.

The 54″ version of Panasonic’s wireless HD set will sell for around £5,000 when it comes out in a few weeks, and LG and other companies will release their own sets in the next few months or so.
