Phonex Intros HomePlug Unit, Enters Broadband Arena

August 04, 2002

Twice Phonex said its HomePlug implementation is targeted to the market segment most likely to buy a home network: households with multiple PCs and a broadband connection that occupants want to share. These consumers, according to a Parks Associates' survey, rate reliability and ease of installation as the two most important considerations in buying a home network.

.... Researchers Parks Associates agree that the top reason that consumers buy a home network is to share broadband Internet access, Phonex said. A Parks survey of homeowners with broadband and a PC network shows that 70 percent rate reliability as extremely important in buying a home network, followed by ease of installation at 54 percent and interoperability at 53 percent. Price was regarded as extremely important by only 32 percent.
