SWINDON, England--(Business Wire)--At this week's 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
in Las Vegas, SiConnect will be demonstrating a range of home
networking products based on its POEM powerline communications
technology. As the leader in multimedia-ready home networking,
SiConnect will also be outlining its future product roadmap, including
its plans for adopting the emerging powerline standards
being developed by IEEE.
The applications being demonstrated at CES include IP-based
applications such as IPTV, Voice over IP and Internet content
distribution, and non-IP applications such as uncompressed audio
distribution. The products are based on the company's first
generation PLT050/PLi050 powerline chips, which deliver home
networking for today's consumer applications at a new market-enabling
price point.
Besides its unique cost model, POEM's other key attributes are its
ability to support the diverse QoS (quality of service) needs of
different applications, its ability to work straight out of the box
without configuration, and its support for running multiple consumer
applications side-by-side on a single network without degrading one
other's performance. These capabilities are highlighted in the
demonstration that SiConnect is making at CES this week, which
includes as many as seven consumer electronics applications running at
once.
The next generation of SiConnect chips, starting with the
single-chip PLi400 high definition powerline modem, is aimed at
delivering home networking for tomorrow's consumer applications.
Thanks to the continued use of its POEM technology, SiConnect's future
powerline communications offerings will retain the compelling price
point and superior applications support being demonstrated by its
current products at CES this week. The PLi400 and other future
products from SiConnect will support the standards being developed at
the IEEE in its P1901 working group.
