Highlight of Current Activities Providing leadership in the development & deployment home networking technologies & open standards Facilitating the development of home networking market driven standards Our activities support the full life cycle of standards--from concept or incubation to market acceptance & use We are developing a pipeline of standards related activities Home networking technology research & education Market implementation programs Pre-standards activities Accelerated standards activities Post- standards activities

Highlight of Current Activities IEEE has a suite of standards & projects in the home networking space that address the growing complexity of consumer networks & a growing number of users streaming video, accessing data-rich applications & performing other high-performance tasks at home Providing solutions that offer high bandwidth and data throughput levels for consumers & serving as powerful tools for broadband service providers to provide digital convergence service IEEEE 1905.1-2013 IEEE standard for a convergent digital home network for heterogeneous technologies IEEE P1888.4: IEEE standard for protocols for measurement and control networks for home and residential quarters IEEE 1901-2010 IEEE standard for broadband over power line networks: Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Specifications The complete IEEE 802 suite of standards

IEEE Standards - Facilitating Connectivity

Strategic Direction Expand upon IEEE’s expertise in standards areas to offer a more holistic home networking experience & save energy Investigate opportunities for collaboration with existing organizations focused on home networking Provide a resource for home networking policy related issues Optimize the unique IEEE platform of education, publications, conferences & standards to explore new opportunities in the home networking ecosystem to connect stakeholders Provide a venue where the best minds come together to innovate & work together to advance home networking technologies for the benefit of humanity

Challenges Diversification of smart home applications driving integration of heterogeneous networking devices Convergence of home networking technologies Requirement for more home networking technology to serve the consumer

Next Steps / Actions Leverage the IEEE community of experts & technologist to help address the interoperability challenges in home networking interoperability challenges
