BEAVERTON, OR--(Marketwire - Nov 2, 2011) -
WHAT:
2010/2011 saw the finalizing of the home networking specifications G.hn (G.9960, G.9961), G.hnem for SmartGrid and G.hn-mimo (Multiple Input Multiple Output for PLC) as the standards of choice for wired home networking. Technologies based on these are now rapidly moving towards widescale adoption, due to the efforts of the HomeGrid Forum and its members.
