GreatFX Business Cards Small Business Buzz Broadband Over Powerlines
High-speed Internet connections over powerlines and electrical currents is not entirely new, however, it is little known to the public.
I believe this technology will soon be a viable alternative to Cable and DSL connections. With two-way speeds of up to 25 times that of Cable and DSL, this technology could have a significant impact on all things electronic.
There are, however, some kinks that need to be worked out first… such as interference with certain radio frequencies.
Customers who subscribe to the service simply plug a tiny modem, based on the HomePlug power line standard, into an electrical outlet and connect a cable from their computer for Internet access.
