I see in the 3.1 specs they mention something about security. I'm not sure if the previous versions have encryption though...
Hopefully now this would be something that is as reliable as having ethernet lines. Seems hard to find vendors for it though... I sent an email to see if they have any distributers based in North America. Steven On 3/24/07, Elliott Jeyaseelan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Neat technology, but what about security? -----Original Message----- *From:* Steven McCann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Friday, March 23, 2007 4:40 PM *To:* asterisk@uc.org *Subject:* [on-asterisk] HomePNA, HPNA phoneline networking Hello All, Has anyone had any experience with using HomePNA for networking? From what I see it allows you to use your phone lines to create a network, and use ethernet bridges or computer-USB adapters to convert the signal to travel over phone line. The v3.0 says its range is 1000+ft and 125mbps. Some of the sites that I found information on: http://www.homepna.org/en/index.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePNA http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/phone-network.htm This looks like it could be a very useful technology, but has anyone heard any good/bad reviews about it? There doesn't seem to be many hardware vendors for it in North America. Thanks, Steven
