Welcome to MEDA: Leadership Dedicated to Building Montana's Economy

Imagine accessing the Internet over the same pipe that provides you with natural gas for cooking.

It may sound nuts today, but a San Diego company called Nethercomm is developing a way to use ultra wideband wireless signals to transmit data at broadband speeds through natural-gas pipes. The company claims its technology will be able to offer 100 megabits per second to every home, which is more than enough to provide voice, video and high-speed Internet access.

Needless to say, there’s a big caveat here: These claims have yet to be tested. Nethercomm has no working products and has not tried the technology in the field.
