G.hn Do-Everything Home Networking Approved. Working? Ubiquitous? Cheap? To be Followed
Friday, 11 June 2010 12:54
G.hn chips will carry data at great speed around the home over powerlines, coax, or phone lines. All previous chips will become obsolete and G.hn will take over the world . Ten companies will make the chip and quickly drive down the price of the chip. Over powerline or coax, speeds will be dozens of megabits a second or maybe hundreds, enough for three HD channels.  
      Or so the chipmakers claim, several of whom have no doubt they will achieve all these goals. Three have promised to ship samples before the end of the year. Without working chips and carriers who have tested them, I have no way to verify any of the claims. When anyone has test results, let me know how they are doing.  
     Friday the ITU approved the standard after secret discussions.
