Broadband Over Power Carrier

[mus3na 5]

HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - Three Japanese consumer electronics giants have created a new technology to transport Internet and media signals around the home via the electricity network, Panasonic said on Thursday. Sony (6758.T), Mitsubishi (6503.T) and Matsushita-owned (6752.T) Panasonic have set up the SECA powerline alliance.

They have developed a system to transfer 170 Megabits per second of data through the power lines of a home, Panasonic researcher Ingo Chmielewski told journalists at the electronics trade fair CeBIT.

He said the technology is already available and introduction depended on government authorization.

The speed is three times faster than wireless technology Wi-Fi and is fast enough for high definition television signals. Unlike wireless alternatives, the powerline technology performance is stable throughout the home. SECA will compete with existing technology from the HomePlug alliance of 50 companies, including Japanese group Sharp (6753.T). The two systems are not compatible.

HomePlug's current standard is only 14 Mbps but it is thought to be working on a faster version.

Sony is also a member of HomePlug, according to the consortium's Web Site and it was unclear if it would be part of both. Sony was not available to comment.

Asked why the three companies came up with their own technology and risked yet another format war in the consumer electronics world, Chmielewski said: "We think our technology is better."

Kalau Kerajaan Malaysia Luluskan, abis la Telekom. Rumah Org Asli pun ade apo power line! tak payah la nak merungut lagi bila telekom nak pasang pizzabox la, nak increase coverage dari 5km ke 10km la, etc.

Teknologi ni dah ada kat sini...tapi masih dalam percubaan tak salah aku. Kalau aku tak silap Broadband Over Power Carrier dah di implement sesetengah shopping complex macam apa yang aku baca kat Star Intech tahun lepas. Satu lagi teknologi yang ada kat sini ...speed capable up to 2 gigabits persecond (kalau silap betulkan). Lepas aku baca paper tu sampai sekarang aku tunggu diorang punya progess...tapi sampai sekarang tak dengar cerita pun. Tapi kalau teknologi ni implement kan aku rasa Jaring/ TMnet terus gulung tikar yang akan senyum sampai ke telinga....TNB
