HomePlug AV
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 05:17 PM
"The HomePlug Powerline Alliance announces that its specification for HomePlug AV, the highly-anticipated, easy-to-use global powerline communications technology for creating an instant connected home ecosystem, has been finalized and approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of the Alliance."
Looks like this technology should allow for complete home networking for data, video, and audio. Interestingly, they say there is enough bandwidth for multiple HD streams, which is something wireless can't do. One question I had that was not covered in the specs concerned security. Could this traffic be captured by your neighbors or would there be interference if two neighbors were both using this technology.
