Windows XP - By Robert KeenanEE TimesWayne, N.J. - A chip set from startup Entropic Communications letsend users turn their coaxial connections into a backbone network inthe home.Wireless connections -- mostly wireless-LAN links --are quicklybecoming the de facto approach for distributing broadband connectionsand multimedia content from a router to a node, such as a laptop. ButWi-Fi systems struggle to penetrate some walls and thus fall short inproviding total coverage in a home. That coverage issue will loomlarger as end users start to distribute HDTV connections over Wi-Fichannels.To help solve the problem, equipment vendors have consideredestablishing a backbone network in the home. With the EN1010 RFfront-end IC and the EN2010 baseband controller IC, Entropic (SanDiego) gives equipment vendors a way to tap into coaxial connectionsand establish a backbone that can deliver a peak performance of 270Mbits/second and real throughput of better than 100 Mbits/s.http://www.commsdesign.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17200154
