SiConnect Marketer Takes Leading Role at Powerline Alliance.SWINDON, England -- Robert Stead stead n. 1. The place, position, or function properly or customarily occupied by another. 2. Advantage; service; purpose: "His personal relationship with the electorate stands in good stead" , SiConnect's VP of Marketing, has been appointed as Promotion Work Group Chair at the Consumer Electronics Powerline Communication Alliance (www.CEPCA.org). He takes over from previous Chair, James Williamson, VP of the Technology Standards Office at Sony Electronics Sony Electronics Inc., headquartered in San Diego, Calif., is the largest component of Sony Corporation of America, the U.S. holding company for Sony's U.S.-based electronics and entertainment businesses. Inc. With an international membership, CEPCA is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to ensure the co-existence of powerline communication technologies (PLC) for the home. The Alliance is working towards the development of technical specifications enabling coexistence co·ex·ist intr.v. co·ex·ist·ed, co·ex·ist·ing, co·ex·ists 1.

"With so much momentum behind powerline communication, there's a real need for global consensus on a PLC coexistence standard," said Stead, "It's the essential route to reliability and sustained consumer confidence and the only means by which power utility service calls can be reduced and CE product returns minimised. The objectives of CEPCA and SiConnect are very much aligned and I look forward to the new role." In June 2006, SiConnect announced its breakthrough POEM(TM) technology. Using a Synchronous Refers to events that are synchronized, or coordinated, in time. For example, the interval between transmitting A and B is the same as between B and C, and completing the current operation before the next one is started are considered synchronous operations.

About SiConnect: SiConnect provides market leading powerline communications (PLC) technology for home networking applications. Its innovative silicon and software solutions enable existing domestic electrical wiring Electrical wiring in general refers to insulated conductors used to carry electricity, and associated devices. This article describes general aspects of electrical wiring as used to provide power in buildings and structures, commonly referred to as building wiring. to be used to transport audio, video, voice and data throughout the home. Working in partnership with the world's blue chip telecommunication operators, cable companies and consumer electronics manufacturers, SiConnect is creating new benchmarks for PLC technology that achieve all capacity, reliability, ease of use and cost point goals. To date, more than 150 man-years have been invested in the company's PLC technology. SiConnect is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. headquartered in Swindon in the UK. About CEPCA: The Consumer Electronics Powerline Communication Alliance (CEPCA) was established to encourage widespread adoption of high-speed powerline communication (PLC) technology in a broad range of CE products. With this objective, this not-for-profit organisation is working on the development of technical specifications that will ensure coexistence between in-home PLC systems and between access and in-home PLC systems. By embedding 1. (mathematics) embedding - One instance of some mathematical object contained with in another instance, e.g. a group which is a subgroup. 2. (theory) embedding - (domain theory) A complete partial order F in [X -> Y] is an embedding if CEPCA's lightweight coexistence specification into the connectivity chips they use, telecom service providers will be able to minimise truck roll and CE product manufacturers will be able to minimise product returns.
