Earthlink, the mega USA ISP, is preparing to tests on a new broadband service over Consolidated Edison”s power lines in Manhattan.
EarthLink and Con Edison have teamed with Ambient, a power line communications technology developer, to get the trial rolling. The companies plan to launch the pilot in November with one apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, said John Joyce, president and CEO of Ambient. Final details regarding the pilot are still being finalized, he added.
EarthLink, Con Edison and Ambient have been working together since 2002 on technology that provides broadband services directly over the nation”s power grid into homes through an electrical socket.
