The technology has capabilities designed into consumer products (such as TVs, audio equipment, computers, and networking gear), a high-definition television show or movie from a PC, PVR or set top box can be viewed on any television in a home &#8211; all without running new wiring. The product uses the power lines already installed in a home as a path to transmit digital data between devices. HomePlug AV will be an important enabling technology for IPTV and triple play applications.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a remarkable achievement for the <st1_City w_st=\"on\"><st1_place w_st=\"on\">Alliance,&#8221; said Pete Griffin, chairman of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance and Radio Shack&#8217;s director of corporate technology. &#8220;This is a breakthrough technology eagerly anticipated by the consumer marketplace. HomePlug AV will change the face of the digitally connected home. It is the first multi-media distribution technology that makes multimedia home networking as easy as plugging an appliance in a power outlet.&#8221;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;HomePlug AV technology was built with contributions from companies worldwide that worked as part of the alliance&#8217;s specification working group (SWG). The SWG further developed a baseline technology that was based on contributions submitted by Arkados, Conexant, Intellon and Sharp. <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next generation in the distribution of multimedia content has been given the green light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-archive","category-hardware","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
