TVWireless uses a relatively low bandwidth technology. Two protocols are available including 802.11b and 802.11g. These protocols only support approximately 5 and 45 Mbps respectfully of shared bandwidth per wireless access point. Therefore, a QOS (quality of service) restriction is imposed on all users of TVWireless. This QOS restriction limits a host to 500 Kbps of sustained throughput. While this may seem a bit restrictive, realize that TVWireless is meant to provide convenient access to TVCC network infrastructure it is in no way meant to replace the 10/100 Mbps wired access available at most desktops. If there were no QOS restriction it would also be possible for a single user to sit very close to a wireless access point and consume a very large portion of the available bandwidth.
