Telecom Lead Team: Motorola Mobility has joined the HomeGrid Forum’s growing
membership. With the membership, Motorola has joined a diversified range of
companies and is expected to take an active role in promoting G.hn technology
as a global standard for fast, powerful wireline home networking.
“Our
membership is growing in numbers and also in stature. Motorola is one of many
major equipment manufacturers and global players to recognize the potential of
G.hn for its customers and we are delighted that they have chosen to step in at
this critical point as Certification is being finalized along with silicon
ready for deployments,” said Matthew Theall, president of HomeGrid Forum.
G.hn
technology provides a high performance platform within the home for Motorola’s
wide range of end user devices and its strategy of encouraging connection
between our home and mobile lives.
“Our
aim is to provide a comprehensive range of technologies and to offer the best
networking in the home that is available today. G.hn has enormous potential and
is moving fast towards Certification, so it makes sense for us to join the
organization that will drive this standard forward and the technology’s success
in the market. We look forward to working with our colleagues in the HomeGrid
Forum to create a powerful offering for our customers with a range of consumer
devices that make best use of G.hn technology,” said Larry Robinson, Corporate
Vice President and General Manager, Home Devices, Motorola Mobility.
Motorola
has joined a wide range of global companies that have recognized the potential
of G.hn, from chipmakers to service providers, equipment manufacturers and consumer
suppliers.
The
company is developing a number of major application areas, including
multi-screen media management, software applications and services, companion
devices and adaptive video streaming, all of which will be enabled by the
exceptional speeds and performance that G.hn can achieve over coaxial cable,
phone lines, and power lines.
