Powerline Networking is the technology that allows you to use your existing electrical wiring in your home or office to create a computer network - LAN (Local Area Network). This form is the most common usage of PowerLine technology but there are many other ways you can benefit using this technology. There are an ever-increasing number of products being developed to incorporate PowerLine technology. For example imagine you have a new television and once plugged in it connects automatically to your DVD player, home theatre system and the Internet.

Infineon Technologies, Intel Corporation, Panasonic and Texas Instruments today announced the creation of HomeGrid Forum, which aims to promote and influence a single, next-generation worldwide standard for networking digital content, such as movies, music and pictures, over home wiring.

At this week's 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, SiConnect will be demonstrating a range of home networking products based on its POEM powerline communications technology.  As the leader in multimedia-ready home networking, SiConnect will also be outlining its future product roadmap, including its plans for adopting the emerging powerline standards being developed by IEEE.
