Nashua, NH – February 18th, 2008 – Aboundi Inc. has successfully completed its ‘Electric Connect™’ series of Power Line Networking products live MDU deployment field simulation test conducted at TaiPower’s Electric Power Research Laboratory field facility in Taipei County late in 2007. The ‘Electric Connect™’ Solution has proven its feasibility to offer broadband access for the MDUs by utilizing the existing electrical wiring infrastructure.

The ‘Electric Connect™’ Solution brings a cost effective networking deployment applications solution to the MDUs by utilizing the existing in-premise electrical wiring infrastructure which provides very easy access to broadband service anywhere inside the facility without the need to rewire the “home run” Ethernet cabling.

“Aboundi’s ’Electric Connect™’ series NetBridge™ devices have proven that Power Line Networking is the best networking solution in MDU applications where it allows easy integration with FTTC for broadband access to the end users.” commented Dr. Pu, the Group Leader of Taiwan Power Research Institute. “Aboundi has incorporated advanced Power Line Networking technology which allows the broadband signal to be injected onto the underground electrical wiring system between low and medium voltage transformers through a distance of 200 meters (approximately 600 feet), with more than 120Mbps data speed throughput. At this data rate, it has enough bandwidth to allow broadband networking for multimedia and entertainment distribution networking applications of the future. “Dr. Pu explained.

“Aboundi is most honored to have Taiwan Power Research Institute as our strategic international technical partner here in Taiwan. Taipower has developed extensive knowledge and experience in Power Line Networking related technologies over the years. Its active role in promoting the PLC application allows our ‘Electrical Connect ™’ solution unprecedented opportunities. We will continue to corporate and enhance our relationship with Taipower and through their knowledge and experiences we will further improve our products’ features and qualities in order to satisfy the customers’ demands.“ stated Hong Yu, President and CEO of Aboundi Inc.
