Wireless, Multi-room digital music

ZonePlayers and Controllers will establish their own secure wireless mesh network. The first ZonePlayer you install must connect to your home network using a standard Ethernet cable.
Sonosnet - A secure AES encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network that streams music wirelessly to other ZonePlayers, avoiding sources of wireless interference.

Multi-stream playback - Plays different songs simultaneously in up to 32 different zones.
