Intel launches internet over powerlines in India
BANGALORE (PTI): With most of the technical problems in delivering internet connectivity over the electric power lines addressed, Intel Corporation is planning to start the user trials of the technology in India in next few months.
"Most of the technical issues that were coming in the way of delivering internet over power lines have been largely addressed. We will link up with our India team in the next eight weeks to begin the trials of the technology," Intel Corporation Vice President and General Manager (Digital Home Group) Donald J MacDonald said at the Intel Developer Forum here.
He said till date the trials of the Home Plug Technology have been confined to the US and it would expand to other geographies including India.
If the technology proves itself in Indian environment, it would go a long way in addressing the goal of taking connectivity to remotest of areas in the country.
Apart from Intel, other partners in the Home Plug Powerline Alliance are Cisco, Comsat, General Electric, Sony and Sharp.
