[MLB-WIRELESS] Computerworld U.S. Robotics doubles speed of 802.11b wireless LA N

[Denis Dowling]

Slightly off topic but...

Intersil Corp are the main force behind the HomePlug standard that gets 11M
bps over powerlines using OFDM. There was an article in the April Circuit
Cellar about this. The nice feature of this technology is that it can be
made to look like Ethernet at the link layer so making a bridge from wired
to powerline networking is easy. When the cost of the technology comes down
it should be possible to have all sort of appliances on a home network just
by plugging them in.

Regards,
Denis.
