What will be HomePlug AVs speed, features and capabilities?
HomePlug AV was designed to support the high-bandwidth and low-latency demands of several simultaneous streams of HDTV and VoIP, made concurrently available in over 90% of power outlets in a home. The target applications are in-home distribution of audio-video in home-theater and data-networking environments. For this reason, in the given frequency range, HomePlug AV has pushed Shannon’s Law to its limit and will provide a 200Mbps class service at the PHY layer. After overhead considerations, the MAC layer will support over 100Mbps.
