No wireless, no DSL cable, no phone, still
you get 200mbps internet at home
Well, most of you all know the answer;
its power line communications. Our home/office 230 Volts AC
power line can transmit digital data up to 200 Mbps. This
new technology is gaining popularity around the world. The
advantage is, you don't need a separate cable or wireless
channel to get internet connection. At 200 Mbps, we can watch
live video undisturbed. The association called Universal Powerline
Association (UPA) is working to promote global standards and
regulations in the fast developing powerline communication
market. Worldwide the market for powerline communications
is growing at 72%, quite a high figure compared to any other
presently growing fields. No wonder, if our utility companies
start billing for internet usage in coming years.
