B&O goes wireless

Bang and Olufsen was one of the first companies out there with a media networking system: Beolink. Beolink used to be a wired solution with cabling running from room to room, allowing you to pipe music from a CD playing in your living room to speakers elsewhere in your house.

B&O's now come into the modern age with the release of the Beolink Wireless 1.



The only surprising thing is that they have chosen not to use WiFi to transfer data, prefering to use Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. Now the interesting thing is that this doesn't tell us what the transmission layer/technology is that they're using, it's just saying how they're broadcasting. Am curious about the details here and am also curious about the reasons for this choice.
