Company History
Monsoon Multimedia develops and markets a suite of fun and powerful video products and technologies allowing consumers and OEM customers to enjoy video wherever, whenever and however they want.
Monsoon Multimedia was founded in 2004 by a team of digital video pioneers and serial entrepreneurs with a track record of launching successful startup companies in the growing digital video space. In 1996, the founders of Monsoon Multimedia founded Dazzle, where they developed the world's first affordable PC hardware and software products to compress video based on MPEG standards. In 2000, they founded Emuzed, where they pioneered the convergence of PCs and mobile phones, with TVs and digital video.
Now, with digital video exploding and technologies converging, Monsoon’s products and technologies sit at the center between TV, Mobile, home WiFi, Internet Video and the wide array of TV and video service consumers have coming into their homes.

What the Media Says
"Monsoon Wireless HD differs from Sling by adding 802.11a/g wireless networking to the mix of transmitting video from a home source (cable, MCE PC, etc.) to your laptop across your home or across the Internet. Vulkano also adds the ability to stream to more than one PC."
PC Magazine
"What's nice about the Vulkano is that it has built-in wireless capabilities -- unlike the Slingbox. The Slingbox must be connected to your router via an ethernet port, which was problematic for me because of my router and TV reside on different floors in my house. The Vulkano was able to connect to my router wirelessly."
