Broadband Home Central
The Broadband Home Central website is produced by Sandy Teger and Dave Waks and is provided as a resource for the Broadband Home community.
Our focus is residential broadband in all its ramifications. Rapid and competitive deployment of broadband to and within the home is enabling the creation of new products, services, content and applications. "Fat pipes," content, and the home infrastructure must all work together seamlessly to create compelling value for consumers.
We both now have blogs, and have started taping video interviews when we attend industry events. Visit the Videos and Blogs page to subscribe to our blogs and view our videos.
We have posted fifteen video demonstrations to accompany our articles on Cable Show 2009.
There are many interesting conferences and events related to various aspects of the broadband home.
 Our December issue covers the Partners' Connected Health Symposium (held in Boston during October) and the TelcoTV Conference (held in Orlando during November).
See more about these shows we have singled out to attend, either as speakers or just to keep up to date on what's new and important.
We use our home and our vacation condos as testbeds for current and emerging technologies for home networking, multimedia and communications. In this section of our website, we describe qualitatively what it’s like to use these technologies at home. We also share the quantitative results of our tests.
The section About Our Broadband Condo describes how we are preparing our Florida vacation condos for the digital future.
The Wi-Fi Evaluation section includes our evaluation of many flavors of Wi-Fi, including the beginnings of the new generation of Wi-Fi based on MIMO—another leap forward in both throughput and range. The HomePlug Evaluation section has the results of our in-home tests of the first-generation HomePlug adapters.
Broadband homes have both broadband Internet access to the home and a broadband distribution network in the home. These broadband homes hold the key to future Internet applications.
Many homes with broadband modems are installing home networks and home gateways to share broadband with multiple PCs.
It's more than PCs and Web browsing. New technologies allow broadband to carry telephone, video and audio services, and distribute them around the home.
