HD-PLC can be easily integrated with wireless and other networking technologies using IEEE 1905.1, Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies.
IEEE P1905.1 is a Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies. The standard defines an abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies.
The abstraction layer common interface allows applications and upper layer protocols to be agnostic to the underlying home networking technologies.
The purpose of this valuable standard is to facilitate the integration of P1901 with other home networking technologies like IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.3 and MoCA 1.1.
