What does UPnP mean to the consumer?
A. Simplicity, choice and more innovative experiences. Networking products that include Universal Plug and Play technology will “just work” when physically connected to the network. UPnP can work with essentially any networking media technology, wired or wireless. This includes, for example: Category 5 Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi or 802.11B wireless networks, IEEE 1394 (“Firewire”), phoneline networking or powerline networking. As these devices and PCs are connected with one another, it becomes easier for users to take advantage of innovative new services and applications.
