From WirelessIQ Newsletter:

Nethercomm Corporation, a leading innovator of subterranean broadband communications, announced yesterday the development of Broadband-in-Gas (BiG) Technology. This technology is designed to effectively multiply the current available bandwidth of cable television and all other broadband systems with data capacities exceeding ten gigabits. Broadband-in-Gas delivers unmatched levels of connectivity by making use of Ultra Wideband technology to wirelessly broadcast information in a way that is both safe and reliable by using the private spectrum isolated within natural gas pipelines.

The technology requires no modification to existing natural gas distribution infrastructures and can carry enormous amounts of data by simply making use of the entire spectrum buried within the existing natural gas pipelines. It delivers connectivity over the last mile of broadband networks without interference or degradation of other wireless transmissions. By not consuming or sharing costly spectrum, and not requiring installation of last mile cable or fiber, Nethercomm is prepared to make broadband substantially more affordable while increasing end-user bandwidth to unprecedented levels.

"Our Broadband-in-Gas technology represents a completely new era of low cost access to broadband services and a completely new alternative to cable video, phone and data services," states Ann Nunally, President and COO of the San Diego-based Nethercomm Corporation. She went on to say, "We believe we are the only company with an Intellectual Property portfolio which addresses wireless broadband communication in natural gas pipelines and have been extremely tight-lipped about this innovation until our Patent Portfolio foundation was completely in place."

Nethercomm is currently developing natural gas, broadband and consumer electronics partnerships to validate and certify its revolutionary technology for use in existing natural gas pipelines.

Simply put, Nethercomm introduces signals into the gas lines using inexpensive equipment located at existing neighborhood network hubs and extracts data at the customer or business premises with end user-installed equipment which can operate seamlessly with most existing and deployed digital set-top boxes.
