The HomeGrid Forum, Broadband Forum and four silicon vendors have successfully completed interoperability tests of evaluation platforms for G.hn, the emerging universal physical standard for wired connectivity within the home. The testing was performed in Geneva, Switzerland, in a joint effort between the HomeGrid Forum and the Broadband Forum, at the ITU's global headquarters, and was organized by the University of New Hampshire inter operability laboratory (UNH-IOL). This was the first public opportunity for silicon vendors to test the interoperability of their products based on the G.hn home networking standard, which the ITU and Home Grid Forum hope will be globally deployed by many service providers, PC manufacturers, and consumer electronics companies.
