Although Atthros has begun to integrate HomePlug's powerline network and Wi-Fi, but this is only in the voluntary integration of end product manufacturers, but HomePlug Powerline Alliance and Wi-Fi Alliance have decided to formally cooperate with wireless homes, intending to take advantage of both To create a wireless home solution without dead ends. With this cooperation case, it is a considerable breakthrough for HomePlug Powerline Alliance.
HomePlug technology has been launched for quite a long time, but the price has always been relatively hard, and it is not as convenient as Wi-Fi. Although the standard including HomePlug AV for power line video transmission has been extended, there has been no significant market breakthrough. However, through this cooperation case, not only will the two have more technical exchanges, but terminal vendors will also be more willing to adopt devices that integrate Wi-Fi + HomePlug.
And Wi-Fi is also because of the alliance with HomePlug, which can make the deployment of wireless signals more convenient. Taking advantage of HomePlug ’s use of the home grid as a transmission channel, HomePlug terminals can easily cross floors and configure endpoints at home with weak wireless signals The network deployment at home is more complete. In particular, Wi-Fi's vertical transmission and wall penetration capabilities still have bottlenecks.
For example, a friend of the author has an ADSL modem on the first floor, and his room is on the fifth floor, and the house is of a relatively long and narrow type. It is not easy to popularize signals by Wi-Fi. Too much network cable is too troublesome. Using HomePlug with a Wi-Fi base station, although the signal can be transmitted to the fifth floor, it is a little troublesome. However, with HomePlug + Wi-F i integrated terminal, it will be more convenient.
This plan is not only in the digital home, but also includes the smart grid. Through the integration of the two and the power monitoring device, it is easier to grasp the habits of household electricity. Especially in North America, digital meters and smart grids have been introduced, just like Wi-Fi The previous alliance with ZiGbee, this time combined with HomePlug also has its strategic considerations. After all, a global trend like the smart grid is a huge piece of cake!
