CommsDesign - Broadband over power lines makes debut
CommsDesign - Broadband over power lines makes debut: "Until now, if consumers wanted broadband access, they were faced with two choices --- cable or DSL modems.
As the news this week shows, all that is about to change. Motorola announced a wireless broadband-over-powerline solution designed to allow the utility industry to provide high-speed access to customer homes. The solution should be a significant competitor to existing ones: Motorola cites a study that claims as many as 13 million U.S. households remain unable to receive broadband services from traditional cable modem or DSL providers, and says that its solution can bring the power of broadband to cities and municipalities underserved by current broadband providers."
