In the age when technology is growing by bounds everyday with varied inventions, Spanish researchers have come up with a new system that makes household communication networks more versatile.

This network surpasses even the internet in it's quality and service. This technology called can be used for better access from house to the outer world.

GarcÍa Reinoso said: "The RGW proposed in our article is designed for such an aim, which at the same time, frees up the users from awkward configurations since it is designed to be able to carry out all of its functions autonomously and efficiently."

The most used device in a household is the Internet or IP television but the RGW is a much more intelligent and versatile device. All the communication which goes into or out of a house will pass through it, thus allowing events to be programmed depending on the interests of the owners.

GarcÍa Reinoso said: "We can think of a scenario in a not too distant future...where a friend may invite us to her home to watch a movie on her new high definition television, and when we get to her house, we see that even though the television is high definition, the contract with her IP television server is only for standard quality television. In this hypothetical case, since we have high definition television contracted, we can introduce our own data and the RGW automatically configures to receive the signal in maximum definition."

The RGW, does not wait for your instruction, it studies all the signals in the house and works on them according to the priority. Just imagine a situation when we are in our home, watching television through IP when we hear a strange sound outside our door. We make a 112 emergency call on our IP telephone. The call would be disturbed as the television would be saturating the access but since the RGW has a module which detects emergency calls it automatically would diminish the image quality of the television signal in order to allow the emergency call to be made.

It can be said that RGW would not only make your house communication better but will also assist you in your household work, to the extent of keeping you safe. The RGW, works without any instruction.

This can be installed by the user himself in his home, and at a cost, when produced on a large scale, of around 100-120 Euros, according to the experts.
