Technology

While Ethernet and wireless technologies have successfully met all the requirements of office based PC networks, they have been less successful at supporting the rapidly changing needs of the home network.

Growth in digital TV for example has increased the demands for networks capable of distributing IP data around the home. And the emergence of triple play services - combining IPTV, high-speed IP data and VoIP - have further fuelled the need.

The home environment itself, particularly in Europe, has simply stood in the way of widespread adoption of Ethernet and wireless based home networks. Thick walls, of brick or reinforced concrete, and multiple floors create significant problems for wireless, and retrofitting Category 5 cabling is impractical.

Poem  Technology overcomes all of the environmental problems and provides the reliable means to handle home networking applications. Making use of existing electrical wiring, Poem  Technology provides the data rates, managed QoS and robust topology to make the distribution of audio, video, voice and data throughout the home a reality.

Poem  Technology is differentiated by the following key features:

• 16 level managed QoS
• $5 price point
• Whole home coverage
• Compliance with global EMC regulations
• Ease of use - plug and play - no home visits
• Privacy and security facilities
• Requires no new wires or wireless infrastructure
• A complete solution - silicon, software, reference designs, simple integration
