Why was the HomePlug Alliance formed?
Creating a network through the wires already used by electrical current is “common sense” to many people. Over the years, a great number of companies developed proprietary methods of achieving it, yet there was no industry standard. To develop a common standard, the Alliance created the HomePlug 1.0 specification. Today, HomePlug networking is the only globally recognized standard for high-speed powerline networking. The Alliance works to get the message out through marketing programs and end-user education programs. This helps to accelerate the worldwide demand for HomePlug-certified products.
