The TVnet Standard
 
TVnet Overview

Homes today have a greater need for networking than ever before. With computers, HDTV, IPTV, video game consoles, PVRs, and voice over IP becoming more prevalent in homes, consumers have a need to network these products in a simple, cost-effective fashion. Telephone companies, cable operators, and providers of satellite television have rapidly recognized that a cost-effective and instant network is needed in order to deliver their services to a larger customer base. The requirements of an in-home networking standard are simple: It must install quickly, provide quality of service, and be inexpensive. TVnet addresses these three concerns.

TVnet Ready

TVnet transforms a home's existing coaxial cable into a high-speed home network that seamlessly delivers Ethernet over wiring that already exists in consumers' homes. The philosophy behind TVnet is three-pronged: simple, inexpensive, and reliable. TVnet Ready products do not require any rewiring, software installation, or ongoing monitoring; installation is as simple as plugging cables into the TVnet device.

After connecting a TVnet adapter to the video or broadband source, all coax jacks throughout a home become network-enabled. End users can then gain access to the Internet, stream high-quality video and audio (including HDTV and multichannel TV), and share peripherals by simply connecting a TVnet adapter to the coax jack.

The TVnet Standard means that any network-enabled device is ready-to-go. There is no requirement that devices come embedded with special technology or chips, and as mentioned above, the network functions without software upgrades or expensive maintenance. TVnet is available both in Coaxsys products and as a design-in solution for our partners.
