Networks for super-linked families
Article Abstract:
Home network shoppers will choose from among three basic new options by the end of summer 1998 to connect two or more computers within the same residence. Most of the forthcoming wireless, phone-line systems and power-line systems will configure themselves, allowing owners to avoid the expensive and complicated wiring process. Speeds of up to 1.6Mbps will allow the new systems to perform about 30 times faster than the fastest contemporary modems. Wireless, which links computers with transceivers via a high-frequency radio signal, easily will emerge as the most popular method. Systems that augment a home's existing telephone lines will become the most reliable and efficient alternative in the short term. By comparison, systems that operate existing electrical wiring presently are more expensive and less reliable. These systems also have the most upside because most houses feature electrical wiring in each room.

Broadband Local Area Networks to Lead Market Growth
Article Abstract:
In its report titled 'LAN Market Forecast and Vendor Strategies', Strategic Inc. predicts that broad-band local-area networks (LANS) will comprise eighty five per cent of all LANS shipped in 1988. In 1983 they accounted for only fifteen per cent. There is expected to be a drastic decline in average cost per connection for all three LAN technologies: broadband, baseband, and fiber optics. Strategic also expects the number of installed fiber LANS to increase dramatically between 1986 and 1988. By 1987 integrated voice-data PBXs will begin to challenge the dedicated LAN market. The report costs $4,500. Two graphs are included. One projects the shipment trends for the LAN market, 1983-1988. The second shows the projected change of the LAN installed base by application, 1983-1988.
