10 Standards development update

11 Collaboration within Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) IEEE 1901 Focal point for HomePlug collaboration with PLC stakeholders IH & AC clusters: HomePlug & Panasonic merged proposals Coexistence: HomePlug & CEPCA proposal Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) HomePlug 1.0 technology approved as TIA-1113 ITU-T G.hn First international standard for broadband powerline networking HomePlug members actively participating HomePlug 1.0 and AV contribution HomePlug member contributions include OFDM DFT modulation 11

12 HomePlug & IEEE 1901 standard Overview of IEEE process P1901 working group formed in June 2005 Feb. 2007: unified functional and technical requirements (FTR s) IH (in-home), AC (access), CX (coexistence) IH and AC clusters include IPP for coexistance June 2007: 12 proposals received April 2008: down selection completed to 1 proposal per FTR cluster Baseline confirmed: December 2008 Next steps To shorten dev time: HomePlug + Panasonic effort focused on broadest consensus possible during the baseline phase Workgroups finalizing specs for sponsor ballot in

13 New specifications and initiatives

14 HomePlug s Smart Energy Initiative Announced in August 2008 Utilities, ZigBee and HomePlug Join Forces to Create Wired HAN Standard Working with power utilities to align with market requirements American Electric Power Consumers Energy Duke Energy Oncor Pacific Gas and Electric Company Reliant Energy San Diego Gas & Electric Southern California Edison Goal: Common Application Layer Solution for in-home connectivity Common to Both ZigBee & HomePlug -- Using ZigBee Smart Energy Profile as baseline Working structure Joint working groups develop requirements, protocol specifications, certification programs & market development Status with NIST: ZigBee/HomePlug Smart Energy Profile Selected by US Department of Energy as Initial Smart Grid Standard 14
