New Webinar Available: Architecture of G.hn -- The Next-Generation Wired Networking Standard

BEAVERTON, OR--(Marketwire - December 1, 2009) - Home networking on existing wiring is currently plagued by fragmentation and lack of standardization. International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) plans to fix that problem with its next-generation standard, G.hn. With the recent approval of key components of G.hn, this technology will soon deliver a single unified way for home networking using any wire -- power line, coaxial cable, and telephone wiring. How will G.hn deliver a single standard for all regions? What technical architecture can enable this technology? Find out by downloading the new webinar from HomeGrid Forum.
