The ITU-T G.hn standard provides high-speed (up to 1 Gigabit/s) local area networking over existing home wires, including coaxial cable, power lines and phone lines. It defines an Application Protocol Convergence (APC) layer for encapsulation standard 802.3 Ethernet frames into G.hn MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs).
This scenario becomes very common as service providers start to offer service packages with multiple set-top boxes per subscriber. G.hn can connect the residential gateway to one or more set-top boxes, by using the existing home wiring. Using G.hn, IPTV service providers do not need to install new Ethernet wires, or 802.11 wireless networks ...
This is a list of very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) and very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) deployments.. The term VDSL can either refer specifically to ITU-T G.993.1 (first generation VDSL, officially abbreviated as "VDSL", unofficially also called "VDSL1"), or may be used as an umbrella term for both ITU-T G.993.1 and ITU-T G.993.2 (second generation VDSL ...
ADSL and VDSL broadband access via POTS copper wiring; DVB-C2, an enhanced version of the DVB-C digital cable TV standard; Power line communication (PLC); ITU-T G.hn, a standard which provides high-speed local area networking of existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines and coaxial cables) [13]
One example is the ITU-T G.hn standard, which provides a way to create a local area network up to 1 Gigabit/s (which is considered high-speed as of 2014) using existing home business and home wiring (including power lines, but also phone lines and coaxial cables).
Smart home devices such as Google Wi-Fi, Google Nest Wi-Fi, and Google OnHub support Wi-Fi mesh (i.e., Wi-Fi ad hoc) networking. [10] Several manufacturers of Wi-Fi routers began offering mesh routers for home use in the mid-2010s. [11] Some communications satellite constellations operate as a mesh network, with wireless links between adjacent ...
The ITU-T G.984 Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON, G-PON) standard, first defined in 2003, [14] represented an increase, compared to BPON, in both the total bandwidth and bandwidth efficiency through the use of larger, variable-length packets. Again, the standards permit several choices of bit rate, but the industry has converged ...
Many "modems" (cable modems, DSL gateways or Optical Network Terminals (ONTs)) provide the additional functionality to host a LAN so most Internet access today is through a LAN such as that created by a WiFi router connected to a modem or a combo modem router, [citation needed] often a very small LAN with just one or two devices attached. And ...
