Drivers for home networking

Lots of companies producing WiFi gateways

– Growing market worldwide

– Prices falling rapidly

– Technology changing rapidly

Consumer electronics companies WiFi enabling devices

But for the customer its all very confusing

Its still all too complex

No one is responsible for end to end quality assurance

– I cannot rely on it working when I need it

Services cannot be guaranteed

The technology is changing rapidly

There appears to be little standardisation

This is complex to manage !

Issues for the home network

The Home network will become increasingly complex to manage

Customers will require:

– a range of services…. delivered to a range of devices …. with end to end quality assurance across the network

Home gateway manufacturers, telecommunications operators and consumer electronics companies must work together to develop common standards to enable this…

Key areas that require standards to be agreed include:

– Service management

– Service performance

– Security

Seamless integration of many different devices and the ability to deliver managed services to these will be key to the future customer take-up of broadband services

Addressing the issues

HGI will focus on the following areas:

– Architecture – ensuring the right integration of features

– QoS – managing QoS end-to-end

– Home networking technologies – what are the right standards

– Remote Management – configuration, diagnosis and support

– Device Management – identify, configure and support

– Security –securing the Gateway, home and end devices
