| | Showing how these island solutions can be merged to create the universal, intelligent home network will be one of the main objectives of e/home, which is being held in Berlin from 29 to 31 August 2002 (www.ehome-berlin.de). | | | However, the discrepancies between the various systems and standards, which are seen as the main obstacle to the continued (multimedial) development of home networks, is becoming less of a problem. | | | Economic solutions are available for home gateways, taking over the management of communications between the home network and external networks, in particular the internet. |

Using low-power cores and processors will bring the design just so far. | | | MUNICH, Germany — Chip designers are beginning to embrace platforms as a way to deal with the size and complexity of systems-on-chip, executives of several of the world's top semiconductor makers suggested this week. | | | Applications are rendered in hardware by Infineon; separate from that is the software platform, enabling flexibility for standards and protocol changes, and the like. |
