HomePlug Powerline Alliance showcases first Homeplug products
30 January 2002
News
The HomePlug Powerline Alliance, an industry consortium established to provide a forum for the development of an open specification of home powerline networking products and services, demonstrated the first in a series of compatible products built upon the HomePlug 1.0 specification at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The Alliance, which released the HomePlug 1.0 powerline home networking specification in June 2001, has given member companies a robust, field proven industry specification upon which HomePlug member companies can build a host of compliant products.
HomePlug's extensive member base is made up of a wide variety of industries, including service and content providers, hardware and software manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, and other technology companies.
"One of the big themes coming out of CES this year is the realisation of the connected home. Since the alliance was founded nearly two years ago, we have been working toward the introduction of interoperable products that can network via every home power outlet, which puts us that much closer to realising that vision. This is an exciting time for HomePlug, as we continue to work toward the goal of delivering Internet and multimedia applications from every home power outlet," said Tom Reed, President of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance.
Companies that showcased their products at the HomePlug Consumer Electronics Pavilion were Asoka, Cogency, Conexant, DS2, Intellon, NetGear, Phonex Broadband and Valence Semiconductor.
