HomePlug Green PHY: HomePlug Green PHY specification
is developed as a low-power, cost-optimized powerline
networking specification standard for smart grid applications
used in home area networking by the Smart Energy
Technical Working Group within the HomePlug Powerline
Alliance. The inputs for optimization of specifications
for field tests were gathered from many utilities, i.e., Consumers
Energy, Duke Energy, Pacific Gas and Electric, and
Southern California Edison. Backwards interoperability,
lower data rate and IP networking support, low-power consumption,
full interoperability with both HomePlug devices
are the leading features of HomePlug Green PHY
specification.
