A home networking company went public 2 weeks ago. It's called Tut Systems and The Company's HomeRun technology enables a cost-effective Ethernet LAN to be quickly implemented over the existing telephone wire found in a home. PCs, PC peripherals, and high-speed Internet access are easily shared across this "no new wires" LAN. Home networking is also on the agenda at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference at microsoft.com. There's a Home Phoneline Networking Alliance at homepna.org. Intel (software) and Broadcom (chips and hardware) are developing a USB cable modem. "We have incorporated the USB standard into our cable modem reference design because it is an enabling technology that will make cable modems much easier to install and configure," said Rich Nelson, Broadcom Director of Marketing Cable-TV. There's an EE Times article on home networking at eetimes.com. They point out that home networks will have a combination of USB, 1394, and infrared. Phoenix supplies cores in all 3 areas, so they seem to be positioned well.
