Ecosystem progress & opportunities: Connectivity

New standards for powerline published IEEE 1901: interoperates with installed base of

millions of HomePlug AV products HomePlug Green PHY

− cost-optimized for smart energy HAN− “certification profile” of IEEE 1901− Interoperates with HomePlug AV + IEEE 1901

Upcoming IEEE 1901.2 standardizes outside-the-home powerline communications for applications such as AMI

Powerline Networking Joins the IEEE family of Global Standards

Ecosystem progress & opportunities (2)

A common application layer solution will operate on different physical networks

Smart Energy Profile 2.0

Interoperability enabled by interconnected certification programs

Ecosystem progress & opportunities (3)

Home networking and HAN’s are beginning to converge Example: LG THINQ Technology with Wi-Fi

connectivity and smartphone app Smart meters are starting to connect to the home

network− Example: GE meter with HomePlug AV

Wireless + powerline networking are converging
