PowerStream™
Quality of Service (QoS)
The
requirements for delivering Multimedia network communications for consumer, industrial
and commercial applications are altogether greater than transmitting plain old
data. To overcome the hostile powerline environment and maximize multimedia quality
PowerStream™ provides:
- high speeds for multimedia applications
- true, continuous, non-bandwidth limiting multicast and broadcast support for multimedia streams
- provisioning of bandwidth and prioritization of the network for quality audio, video and voice transmission
- the ability to run multiple applications running at multiple nodes of the network simultaneously
while ensuring
- low latency
- low application jitter
- compliance with power emissions regulations
PowerStream™ demonstrating simultaneous file transfer, video and audio streams over the powerline with provisioning of bandwidth and steady prioritization of multimedia streams using Chariot testing software by NetIQ.
Hierarchical Approach
To provide Quality of Service (QoS), PowerStream™ uses a hierarchical approach that is optimized for the powerline.
