Digital Home
Appliances may be divided into categories called "white goods" and "brown goods" in British English. Brown goods are typically small household electrical entertainment appliances such as:
CD and DVD players, TV, camcorders, cameras, Video game consoles, HiFi and home cinema, telephones, answering machines
White goods comprise major household appliances and may include:
air conditioner, dishwasher, clothes dryer, freezer and refrigerator, stove (also known as range, cooker, oven, cooking plate, or cooktop), water heater, washing machine
Broadband Multimedia Wireless Research Laboratory
Digital Home
Some types of brown goods were traditionally finished with or looked like wood or bakelite (電木). This is now rather rare. … White goods were typically painted or enamelled (瓷漆的 ) white, and many of them still are. This division is also noticeable in the service area of these kinds of products. Brown goods usually require high technical knowledge and skills, … while white goods need more practical skills and "brute force" to manipulate the devices and heavy tools required to repair them. source: Wikipedia

The HomeRAN system uses the home coaxial infrastructure to distribute IP-TV. HomeRAN creates a true home multimedia network - and eliminates the need to run new wires around the home. Operators will enjoy a system inexpensive to install with a DIY capabilitiy. Without new boxes or wires, every TV outlet at home becomes an IP demarcation point that can be controlled by the operator. It is the ultimate solution for bridging fiber or DSL with the TVs in the home.

The HomeRAN system consists of two elements:
The HomeRAN Gateway - that provides the logical interface between the incoming broadband access device and the home coaxial infrastructure. It is a bridge/router that converts the IP coming from DSL /Fiber modem to RF. The HomeRAN gateway can be located at the demarcation point or anywhere in the home. The HomeRan Outlet - located in several rooms in the home. These Outlets replace or complement regular cable TV outlets and convert the RF back to Ethernet or USB. Each HomeRANT Outlet provides both RF-TV and network interfaces.
