HomePlug Standards for Powerline Communications

"No new wires... a new networking standard that uses existing electrical wiring, HomePlug, could offer users a real alternative to wireless. PC World

You can use HomePlug standard powerline networking to:

• share high-speed Internet connections
• distribute audio and video
• automate their homes
• use telephony
• share devices like printers and scanners
• access programming guides

We have all heard about the smart house and running our homes with a computer. Consider a future where all appliances with power cords can be networked using universal plug and play including:

• computers
• telephones
• stereos
• even refrigerators

You could have a DVD drive in one room sending video to a TV or PC in other, while a computer in a bedroom could switch on your web-enabled dishwasher. A household network using powerline communications modems connecting Internet appliances will make that possible and without rewiring your home.

• check your fridge to see if you need milk
• start your lawn watering system from across the country
• tell your digital recorder to start recording from the office
• check to see if you forgot to turn off the iron
• start preheating your oven so as soon as you get home, you can pop in tonight's dinner

How would that work? Each electronic device in your home will have an IP address on your powerline network. You can access any appliance using that IP address just like you can send messages to an individual computer.
