HomeGrid Forum Publishes Whitepaper Describing How G.hn Unifies Home Networking Market
Now Available for Download: Whitepaper Outlines How Coexistence and Interoperability Can Be Achieved With United Nations ITU-T Home Networking Standard
| Source: HomeGrid Forum
BEAVERTON, OR--(Marketwire - April 20, 2009) - G.hn is a standard for next-generation home
networking being developed by the International Telecommunication Union's
Standardization Sector (ITU-T). G.hn is designed to operate over any kind
of home wiring, including powerlines, phone lines, and coaxial cables. As
part of the migration path towards a single unifying home networking
technology, it's expected that G.hn networks will need to coexist with
several types of existing home networking technologies.
WHAT: HomeGrid Forum's new whitepaper outlines the compatibility mechanisms
between G.hn transceivers and existing, non-ITU-T standard home networking
devices, including coexistence and interoperability options.
WHO: Contributors to this whitepaper include: Chano Gomez, DS2; Stefano
Galli, Panasonic; Barry O'Mahony, Intel Corporation; Vladimir Oksman,
Infineon Technologies; and Mario Finocchiaro, Aware.

WHEN: The whitepaper is available now.
