HomePlug Powerline Alliance to Hold Technology Summit in TaiwanJul 18, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- The HomePlug Powerline Alliance, an industry group for powerline network solutions, announced a one day technology summit to be held July 21 in Taipei, Taiwan. The summit will include presentations from four silicon vendors and HomePlug members - Broadcom, Qualcomm Atheros, SPiDCOM and STMicroelectronics. The Company said it is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of HomePlug's interoperable technology family, HomePlug's certification program and resources, as well as a fresh perspective on developments in digital entertainment and Smart Grid/Smart Energy networking technologies. The summit will also include product demonstrations and a showcase of over 40 products from 13 manufacturers already deployed in the market today. "There is enormous appetite across Asia for implementing HomePlug technology," said Rob Ranck, president of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. "Offering a technology summit tailored for engineering staff is a valuable step toward educating original design and equipment manufacturers about HomePlug's interoperable and complementary technologies, their implementation and certification. As our momentum increases - the recent Green PHY endorsement from the major German automakers, support for the IEEE 1905 standard for hybrid home networks, and the rapid growth of HomePlug product deployments - we're seeing strong demand from this region to understand the full range of HomePlug technologies and implementations, and the potential benefits to local businesses."
