HomeGrid Forum is linking efforts with these organizations to promote G.hn and ensure upcoming G.hn-based products and devices are compliant with the requirements for deployment in Smart Grid, home energy management, and home automation applications. DRSG is the trade association for companies that provide products and services in the areas of demand response, smart meters and Smart Grid technologies. The Z-Wave Alliance is a consortium of more than 160 leading companies manufacturing a broad assortment of interoperable Z-Wave wireless home control and energy management products including lighting, thermostats, shade, and appliance controllers. "HomeGrid Forum is aligning with organizations that have a clear understanding of where the Smart Grid market is headed, including groups like DRSG and Z-Wave Alliance," said Matthew Theall, president of the HomeGrid Forum. "The members of Z-Wave Alliance and DRSG are looking for effective ways to leverage both wired and wireless technologies for efficient power utilization and home automation. G.hn compliments these efforts with technology that will unify the networking of content and devices, over any wire, while supporting the Smart Grid." http://www.homegridforum.org http://www.z-wavealliance.org 16-Nov-09 Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Standards News UNH-IOL Accredited as Testing Lab for USGv6 Test Program 2/2/2010 ITU-T Approves Data Link Layer of G.hn 1/25/2010 GSMA: 2.6 GHz Band Vital for the Growth of LTE 1/13/2010 Alcatel-Lucent and LGE Completed Data Call Handoff Between LTE and CDMA 1/7/2010 Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) Shows Momentum at CES 1/6/2010 HomePlug "Green PHY" Targets Smart Grid Applications 1/6/2010 3DTV Working Group Formed by the MPEG Industry Forum 12/21/2009 Google Joins "IP for Smart Objects" (IPSO) Alliance 12/18/2009 WiMAX Forum Counts 112 WiMAX Networks Deployed in 2009 12/17/2009 Blu-ray 3D Specification Released 12/17/2009 HDBaseT Alliance Targets Whole-home Video Distribution 12/15/2009 IEEE Forms SIEPON Working Group 12/14/2009 T-Mobile Tests Femtocells from Ubiquisys and Huawei 12/10/2009 Broadband Forum Releases Global VDSL2 Test Suite 12/9/2009 ITU-T G.hn Work Group Agrees on a Smart Grid Technology 12/7/2009 > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published LTE -- What Voice Services? by Jose Deras Framing the Next Wave of Carrier Ethernet by Umesh Kukreja Network Interconnection and Evolution for Super Carriers by Dawn M.
