"Powerline communications has many applications, and connected home applications lead the wave of adoption for this technology," said Mr. Logvinov. "By providing the speeds and reliability for whole-house audio, HDTV, home theater, and Internet connectivity, powerline communication has an opportunity to become the technology of choice for the backbone of the connected home. Arkados' standards-based solutions will offer our customers the right mix of flexibility and cost savings." BPL is also used for to-the-home and in-building applications.
