<pre wrap="">Someone gave a lightning talk and made the, for me, welcome claim that network over power
has finally reach maturity and is good for use in homes and that there were working products
on the Ausie market. Can someone point me at who gave the talk, I am keen to track the product
down and make my video delivery to the deck a little less prone to disruption by bad network weather.
I looked at the Ausnog web site but the lighting talks are not listed.

'Twas me Richard.<br>
<br>
The G.HN gear is not out yet - probably another 12 months away - but
the 200Mbps Homeplug AV gear has been out there for quite a while
now.<br>
I like the Netcomm units (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.netcomm.com.au/products/powerline">http://www.netcomm.com.au/products/powerline</a> esp the NP202WN with
twin ethernet and 300Mbps 802.11n wireless built in!) but cheaper
units from other manufacturers are on online stores - search
staticice or your favourite webstore for 'Homeplug AV' or
'powerline AV' and you'll turn them up - the TP-link units seem to
be cheapest, I haven't tried them at all so don't know what they are
like - note from <a
href="http://www.tp-link.com/products/productList.asp?class=pl">the
TP-link website </a>you will want to make sure you get the newer
'mini powerline' kits, not the old models!<br>
<br>
On real G.HN availabilty, <a
href="http://www.targetwire.com/iba/2010/01/12/ds2061as/ds2061as_uk.html">this
infomercial</a> from January talks about quantity shipments in
Q42010 (ie now-ish), <a
href="http://www.homeplug.org/news/pr/view?item_key=f0203d34e1456f3013debdcbc291ad804ae8b882">this
one</a> talks about shipping devices/chipsets in March 2010.<br>
Searching for 'Gigle' turns up <a
href="http://gigaom.com/2009/06/22/gigle-comes-out-of-stealth-with-gigabit-home-networking/">this
partnership</a> with Belkin and then <a
href="http://www.skycomp.com.au/item/BELKIN-F5D4078AU-Gigabit-Powerline-HD-Starter-Kit.aspx">this
unit</a> which claims Gigabit speeds - but doesn't mention
G.HN/9961.<br>
<br>
So...yes, _something_ that tries to do Gigabit over mains power
wiring is available on an Australian website (but the availability
says 'Call/Ask Us', so perhaps not :-)<br>
<br>
Please let me/us know how you get on, and whether it fixes your
video delivery issue.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Paul.<br>
