Goals

The OMEGA project will set a global standard for ultra broadband home area networks. The new standard will enable transmission speeds of one gigabit per second (1 Gbps) via heterogeneous communication technologies, including power line communications and wireless connections. Thus, OMEGA aims to make home area networks as easy to use as electricity from the socket, putting an end to the coverage limitations as well as the wiring clutter in the home.

With OMEGA’s gigabit home network, users will get easy access to high-bandwidth information and communication services such as telepresence, 3D gaming, enhanced interactivity, virtual reality, high-definition video as well as e-health applications and services for the exchange of user-generated business or multimedia content.
