What makes Home PNA better than Ethernet?
Running Ethernet cables in existing walls and ceilings is not an easy job. Simplicity and reliability are the key selling points of a HPNA network. Home phone-line networks strive to offer consumers an easy to install, maintenance-free and easy-to-use network. Most homeowners do not have the engineering background to administer a LAN, they simply want to plug in all their devices and have the system work. Unlike Ethernet, HPNA does not require a hub. Each PC plugs into a telephone jack, without interfering with the phone’s normal operation.
