Published: 30 Mar 2022 14:57

HomeGrid Forum has certified its first G.hn solution for industrial internet of
things (IIoT) applications, as the globally recognised gigabit home networking
technology standard continues to bridge the gap between telecom-optimised
systems and the demand for fast connectivity in industrial settings.



HomeGrid Forum is an industry alliance that brings together technology
developers, silicon suppliers, system manufacturers and service providers to
promote G.hn, which its proponents claim as the most reliable and versatile
wireless home network backbone currently available. Members promote the global
adoption of G.hn – a single, unified, multi-sourced networking technology – over
coax, copper pairs, powerline and plastic optical fibre, providing silicon and
system certification through a compliance and interoperability testing
programme.

G.hn works through existing wiring to provide low-latency connectivity that is
suitable for handling two-way, high-bandwidth and real-time traffic, including
environmental sensors and video surveillance. The certification of the
GHN.SOM.PLC, with a small form factor and retrofit solution from member company
Teleconnect, is designed to enable the high performance of IIoT and connected
devices through MIMO-enabled powerline communications.

HomeGrid Forum sees the certification as an exciting new milestone for G.hn IIoT
use cases, including autonomous mobile robots, smart sensors, augmented/virtual
reality, smart lifting, smart parking systems control, smart buildings
entry-door access control, safety control and factory automation. HomeGrid Forum
G.hn testing is designed to ensure that commercially available products comply
with ITU-T G.hn standards and the interoperability and performance requirements
set out in the HomeGrid Forum certification test plans.

“Machine-to-machine communication and process automation require, more than
ever, stable, robust and fast connectivity to operate and work efficiently, with
no downtime,” said HomeGrid Forum president Livia Rosu. “The uptake in
productivity, efficiency and safety need to strongly rely on agile control,
self-healing capabilities and real-time synchronisation of industrial devices,
placing G.hn as core to manufacturers’ digital transformation. G.hn technology
modules are now embedded into smart manufacturing infrastructure networks to
provide the resilience needed by highly performant industrial plants.”

HomeGrid Forum recently formed a new task force, co-chaired by Alexandre
Schäfer, head of sales, and Philipp Rietzsch, head of R&D, at Teleconnect, to
drive G.hn innovation and deployments for IIoT applications. Schäfer said: “G.hn
has significantly boosted industrial networks with adaptive data rates of up to
1.8Gbps over different media, from powerline to telephone wiring and coax
cables. It has also proven to be the most reliable backbone for visible light
communications, such as LiFi.

“Now, the certification of GHN.SOM.PLC means that the industry can be confident
in the module’s interoperability to other G.hn chipsets and devices.”

Rietzsch added: “The certification is a significant milestone as there is now a
verified G.hn solution for industrial environments that offers best-in-class
connectivity and robustness. With the newly formed Industrial IoT Task Force,
this certification is just the start of new G.hn solutions portfolios that open
exciting opportunities for industrial settings.

“Our mission is to help create a sustainable competitive advantage, with most
machines connected to improve efficiency and reduce cost.”
