Los Angeles (CA) - Most computer users have dealt with computer cables strewn around the house, but the HomePlug PowerLine Alliance hopes to get rid of some of the mess by piggybacking networking signals on top of regular power lines. At the WinHEC conference in Los Angeles, HomePlug reps showed us how homeowners can easily stream multiple high definition video signals through regular wall sockets.
Typically home computers are networked with Ethernet cables and routers. While this inexpensive technology has been around for decades, HomePlug says their stuff is just as fast and is simple to set up. All you need is a wall power adapter that bridges your Ethernet cable to the power circuits in your home. Every networked device needs an adapter, but HomePlug did show off a concept PC that overlaid the network signals on the power cable. No external adapter or Ethernet cable is required in this case. Reps said these computers could be available by Christmas.
