Telsey Power. Line Distinctive Features Ø Performances that allow to distribute multiple IP TV stream inside the house resulting robust against noises generated by home appliances Ø Programmable notch filters that avoit possible interferences with radio frequencies and adapt to evolving EMC rules Ø High security of data transmitted through power line thanks to DES and 3 -DES ciphering Ø Define differnt LAN through different network identifier Ø The optimization of multicast flow between the different powerline adapters by configurng a binding list between IP address of multicast packets and MAC addresses of devices that have to receive them in order to avoid to generate multicast packet for no interested devices Ø The support of Qo. S based on TOS, COS and a programmable sequence of byte to be comapred Ø The possibility to be software upgraded Ø An easy to use web interface to quickly configure the device Ø A telnet user interface for a deeper configuration of the devce

Powerline, how does it work? 1. Connect a powerline adapter to the Broadband Router, and then plug it in a socket 2. Immediately, every socket in your home becomes a broadband connection 3. Connect a second powerline adapter to an IPTV Set Top Box, another one to your gaming console, another to your PC, etc.

Options for Operators • Currently, home networking means: WIRING & COST • Customers do not like wiring: – It is not aesthetic – It is even a reason to refuse the service – It is not easy-scalable

Satellite Operators • So far, 1 TV homes do not need multiroom connectivity: • More TVs in the home need more devices and WIRING IP Based

Cable Operators • Similar situation Cable Operators face in order to support other TVs • Additionally, cable operators provide triple play service: – Multiroom is also needed – Data where customer wants – Video where customer wants

Home Networking requirements are changing • WIFI was the dominant technology fulfilling the networking requirements during the first wave. • But Multimedia Home Networking is not just Data Networking 1 st Wave 2 nd Wave

Is Noise imunity a differentiation? • There are some type of devices and some models that affect speed of PLC (every technologies) – Halogen lamps, hairdryers, mobile chargers, etc… • There is attenuation between PLC nodes and noise source: – Usual place for PLC is behind the TV and PC – Noisy devices are not usually present nearby

Is Noise imunity a differentiation? • Real life environments are not like this:

Innovation in Reference Designs • Recover Outlet • Filters out any noise coming from devices connected to its integrated plug • Push-button configuration for encryption and network ID exchange • Reset button for factory settings recovery • LEDs indicating the Link quality • Stand-by Mode

Innovation in Reference Designs

Is speed or noise inmunity a difference? • Summary: – Only few devices and some models generate noisy affecting signals – Real environment attenuates its effects – Noise affects all the technologies – Only closeby noise really matters: • Customer advice • DS 2 DH 10 PF • IS SPEED OR NOISE A DIFFERENTIATOR? NO

Video over Wi. Fi networks (1/3) IP Video streaming is a demanding application – Needs a Packet Error Ratio (PER) near zero to avoid visual artifacts. – Requires a reliable link, with a consistent throughput (e. g. 20 Mbps with PER=0). – A PER=0. 0001% could cause artifacts if the lost packet is a keyframe or a MPEG motion vector frame. – Most customers define a quality threshold of one visual artifact per hour. – The link latency/jitter must be kept small to avoid buffering issues and/or loose user responsiveness (e. g. When switching multicast channel).

Video over Wi. Fi networks (2/3) Classical Wi. Fi devices cannot handle video !!! – Off-the-shelf Wi. Fi devices build best-effort radio links: PER is not a problem for web surfers. – Unreliable link, trying to push a high throuput without any warranty. – A PER=5% is easily handled by TCP retransissions, but will kill UDP video. – Multicast is not handled by classical Wi. Fi networks. – The link latency/jitter is totally caotic

Video over Wi. Fi networks (3/3) Typical statement of a Wi. Fi silicon vendor: “My device can reach a throughput of 40 Mbps. ” (they don't mention PER, nor the fact this result is attainable only without interferences and in line of sight) Telsey statement: “My device gives you stable and consistent 15 -20 Mbps with PER<0. 001% in a 120 m 2 house, any positions you choose and any neighboring interferences should be present. ” (only this HQ link can sustain realtime UDP video)

Beam. Flex RF Beam Steering – Radio Frequency energy has similar characteristics to light energy – If you take an unfocused light bulb of a given power, it spreads its energy in all directions and the energy quickly diminishes over distance – If you focus the same light bulbs energy in a particular direction, the light will be brighter travel further in the direction of focus – Traditional omni-directional AP antenna work like an unfocused light bulb – The Beam.
