Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric and Sony Agree on Powerline Networking

Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic), Mitsubishi Electric and Sony are establishing an alliance for high-speed power line communication (PLC) specifications for networking consumer electronics.

The new alliance, tentatively called the CE-Powerline Communication Alliance (CEPCA), will promote PLC-capable home networking worldwide by encouraging other consumer electronics and information technology companies to collaborate.



Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric and Sony are already working collaboratively in interface technologies and the potential applications of home networking based on high- speed powerline communication.
