Home Networking Through Set-Top Box
MS Press | at | by Mike
Microsoft Corp. and Pace Micro Technology Americas will showcase a next-generation wireless solution for the advanced set-top box at the Western Show 2001 in Anaheim, Calif. This demonstration, running on Microsoft TV Advanced, utilizes the Pace Di6000 advanced home gateway box and highlights how wireless, always-connected, high-speed connectivity to multiple devices in the home can extend the value of set-top boxes and create new revenue opportunities for network operators.
The wireless connectivity is enabled through Pace's Gateway Expander, a wireless base station that enables two-way communication from the broadband external network to peripheral electronic devices connected internally to the home network.
