OMEGA project: On Convergent Digital Home Networks

The OMEGA project has worked on defining a global standard for ultra broadband home area networks. The new standard consists of a unified home network, which hides the heterogeneity of wired and wireless connections from the end user. Applications can benefit from the capabilities of all the combined technologies constituting the home network. Moreover, the OMEGA home network reaches transmission speeds of one gigabit per second (1 Gbps) not only over robust Ethernet links, but also over power-line communications and wireless connections. With OMEGA´s gigabit home network, users can get easy access to high bandwidth information and communication services.
