Thomson Shows "Oz" Digital Home Network Prototype

Thomson demonstrated its new Digital Home Network concept called “Thomson Oz” at Berlin’s 2003 Internationale Funkausstellung exhibition. At the center of the Thomson Oz network is a media server that provides the consumer with a single source for digital entertainment in the home. The prototype shown in Berlin provides access to applications inside and outside of the home, including connection and control of home devices, and it uses 5GHz technology (HiperLAN2 and IEEE802.11a) for delivering content throughout the home. The device can serve as a gateway for ADSL-delivered broadcast TV, Video-On-Demand, Internet access, music, personal recordings and even home automation commands.
