2. HomePNA technology
2.1 Architecture of a HomePNA home network
HomePNA technology reuses existing telephone wiring to transmit high-speed information between all equipment connected to the home network. Equipment such as computers, printers, scanners, telephones, digital TVs,... can transfer data using a single pair of twisted telephonic cables. Each terminal must be equipped with a network card featuring an interface for connection to an RJ-11 telephone socket.
The advantages of a home network are numerous, and lie mainly in the sharing of data, peripherals and the Internet connection between all the equipment on the network.
HomePNA technology uses a bus structure, eliminating the need for repeaters as in the case of a 10Base-T Ethernet network...
