Are there any established standards for home phone wire and coax cable networking?
Yes, the ITU has standardized most HomePNA technology (ITU Recommendations) for both phone wires and coax cable. In 2005, HomePNA announced the formal approval by the ITU of Recommendation G.9954, which standardized the HomePNA 3.0 specification, a critical technical milestone creating a single, worldwide standard for high-performance multimedia home networking. The HomePNA 3.1 specification adding operation over coax, 320Mbps and multiple spectrum (band) operation was standardized as Recommendation G.9954 1-07 in January 2007. The G.9954 standards covers extensions and enhancements to the networking technology defined by older ITU Recommendations G.989.1, G.989.2 and G.989.3. Recommendation G.989.1 (Phone wire Networking Transceivers – Foundation), based on HomePNA 2 technology, was the first to cover specifications for home phone wire networking, detailing key characteristics of devices designed for the transmission of data over existing phone wire wiring within the home.
