G.hn performance enhancement seen

"After seeing the G.hn demo at CES, it's clear the technology has made substantial progress over last year with respect to standard development and moving toward delivering its first commercial product," said Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Parks Associates, in the HomeGrid press release. "The demonstration provided by DS2 showed dramatic performance over all three media: power line, phone line and coaxial cable. The demonstration reflects the tremendous potential it has to provide service providers with flexibility in how they deliver broadband, IPTV, and other advanced services. I would expect a significant impact on the market with products expected to emerge in 2010."
