Naked Gas Anyone?

I wonder if this can be done if you have a gas line, but don't have gas hooked up? Naked gas!

So is the same technology as wave guides? If so it would really suck if the gaskets rotted out, or werent installed properly and an arc resulted because of that...

You'd think they could at least use correct spelling and grammer.

Someone explain to me

How this is going to work. I can see BPL - you already have a transmission media in place, an unshielded one (and that's the problem). But with this, what's the transmission media? The gas pipes? The gas itself? The company's website description of the process sounds like they're using the gas pipelines as a waveguide, but I don't see how that will work.

Netherlands?




Not only is the "news" here turned mostly into ranting, axe grinding and uninformed speculation, even basic fact checking has gone out the window.

Nethercomm is located in Escondido, California, and is a Delaware-registered corporation.

Publicly traded company?

Wonder how much of a jump the president wanted the stock to do?

Yes, they are using the pipes as a waveguide and it'll work like a champ. Better, because the pipes are underground, I'm sure they'll be able to use everything from 5 GHz and above.
No shortage of bandwidth there.

The only problem is that they'll need to crack the line open to couple to the the waveguide and preferably, they'll do that at the meter.

Re: Naked Gas Anyone?

Now, what is the means of transportation: copper or fiber?

Your not saying you can use the natural gas itself as broadband signaling... that would be too weird. And even if everyone was ga-ga about it and it was approved for deployment and there are no -radio interferance like bpl- where would this theoretially be installed?

No, I was just pointing out that when I want to get DSL service I must also have a basic phone line. I was poking fun at this new "technology" you could say...

Not really. I guess that was stating the obvious, eh?
