The use of residential power line to facilitate in-home high speed networking is now a proven
technology and is rapidly becoming a popular choice in many parts of the world. To promote
widespread adoption of this technology and the required interoperability between devices from
multiple vendors, the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, an industry standards body, has defined various
standards as well as a Compliance and Interoperability test plan.
As with all new technologies, during the early stages of development and deployment, it is necessary
for manufacturers to test compliance to standards and measure performance, such as whether the
devices can handle the high data-rate and QoS requirements required for home networking. Polaris
Networks with its proven expertise in test tool development and testing services is offering a
comprehensive QA/Testing service to help manufacturers meet performance and interoperability
goals required for successful deployment of HomePlug devices.
