home networking

Event date: June 18-21, 2013 Shenzhen, China China’s leading service providers set to discuss broadband home services and requirements for Smart Home architecture during open forum on June 18 in Shenzhen

In a win for the wired home networking industry, four G.hn chipset manufacturers converged in Geneva, Switzerland, for the world’s first open G.hn Interoperability Plugfest.

The Homegrid Forum is backing the ITU-T Study Group 15’s draft standard (ITU-T G.9963, or G.hn-Mimo) that adds mimo (multiple input multiple output) technology to the G.hn standard for high-speed networking over existing home wiring.

Trac has been appointed as the industry’s first test house for Homegrid certified products and will work directly with silicon providers and vendors of home networking devices to ensure they comply with the G.hn test standards.
