G.hn is Running Flawlessly after Review

AT&T is an early adopter of G.hn technology.

Here is what Vernon Reed, Lead Technical Staff at AT&T Labs has to say:

By Vernon Reed
I am fortunate to be one of the “early adopter” test homes for emerging G.hn products, and I’m thrilled to report that I have been up and running a full G.hn-enabled home network using only powerline connectivity for all my video in my AT&T Uverse for 2 weeks now….. and running flawlessly I might add.

I have long been involved with AT&T’s analysis of home network technologies, and have evaluated all revs of HomePlug and HomePlugAV over the last 5-6 years. And using these technologies I have observed in every case that certain device locations where HPAV either could not sustain network connectivity, or the bandwidth capacity it could muster up was inadequate to deliver video in the home. (i.e., no link, or less than 3 Mbps of thruput).

This was certainly not the case with G.hn. At device locations where HomePlugAV delivered only 1-2 Mbps, G.hn delivers a thruput capacity well in excess of 100 Mbps. And that is EXACTLY what we are looking for in a“Plug and Play” network solution.

Bottom line: 3 cheers are in order.

HomeGrid Forum at CES 2012

The HomeGrid Forum was recently at CES 2012. HomeGrid Silicon members highlighted multiple vendor interoperability with HD IPTV across power and coax. Vendors included Lantiq, Marvell, Metanoia, and Sigma Designs.

There is a lot of momentum around G.hn! The HomeGrid Forum announced Motorola as a new member at CES.
