Intellon to deliver Xbox 360, PC HD video streaming through powerlines

HomePlug products allow networking over home electrical wiring - Image 1 

Catering to the Xbox 360 and the PC, the HomePlug AV add-on by LinkSys provides broadband home networking through your power outlet, allowing both current and bandwidth to flow through your electrical wiring. This time around however, Intellon has officially announced in a press release a new integrated circuit that does exactly that same thing.

The INT6000 HomePlug AV IC are integrated directly to your Xbox 360’s power supply, or that of your AMD LIVE! PC, allowing both platforms to stream HD video and high quality audio to each other, over you existing home wiring. Contributing to AMD LIVE’s open-platform approach, HomePlug brings interconnectivity between Microsoft‘s next-gen console and an AMD LIVE! PC running Windows Vista.

Like their ordinary HomePlug devices, Intellon is certain that additional wiring will no longer be needed. The technology is claimed to provide full Quality of Service (QoS) support and guarantee, as well as the added stability and robust features to discourage doubt of the product’s capabilities.

A full technical demonstration of the product will be revealed in an AMD presentation, “Whole Home Media Access over Mixed Topologies,” to be held in May 17, 2007 at WinHEC.
