  • ISP IPv6 Deployment Scenarios in Broadband Access Networks (04-04-2004)
    •  
     This IETF document provides detailed description of IPv6 deployment and integration methods and scenarios in today's Service Provider Broadband networks in coexistence with deployed IPv4 services.

    Cable/HFC, BB Ethernet, xDSL and WLAN are the main BB technologies that are currently deployed, and discussed in this document. The emerging PLC/BPL access technology is also discussed contributed with the results of the 6POWER project.
     
     
  • Powering the next-generation Internet (28-11-2003)
    •  
      It is the power supply that drives your computer, not the Internet connection. So says the traditional logic that electricity companies supply power and telecommunications companies, well, telecommunications. But this year could be a watershed for reversing that logic. Power Line Communication (PLC) allows the electricity grid to supply megawatts and megabytes - and at rates matching or surpassing those of DSL and cable.

    As PLC starts to be implemented in Europe, the IST project 6POWER is looking to its future, and particularly to how it will enhance and indeed make necessary the roll out of the next-generation Internet, the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
     
     
  • 6POWER cooperates with ETSI in the 1st PLC Plugtests (12-11-2003)
    •

  • 6POWER provides toll-quality IP voice services over power line comms  (29-10-2003)
    •  
     The 6POWER project has already provided good exploitation results. The QoS mechanism developed by the project has enabled the offering of toll-quality voice services over PLC, and consequently allowed early commercial exploitation.
     
     
  • Power Line Business Plan  (08-07-2003)
    •

  • Great Success of the "Madrid 2003 Global IPv6 Summit" - Coexistence of IPv6, PLC and WLAN (16-06-2003)
    •  
     One of several remarkable demonstrations was the PLC connectivity provided at the conference venue by the 6POWER project. The power grid of the hotel facilitated the distribution of several WLAN access points in locations not accessible by means of regular network wiring, enabling a better wireless coverage, for both IPv4 and IPv6.
