HGI announced the publication of three new documents that provide clear guidance to manufacturers about Service Provider requirements for Home Gateways in regards to Wi-Fi technology requirements, Wi-Fi system requirements and service support through software modularity. <\/p>\n
The new HGI specifications \u2013 which add to a substantial suite of recently published specifications \u2013 all reflect recent advances in broadband home networking requirements. Two of the documents, HGI-RD045v2 and HGI-RD057, cover Wi-Fi technology and Wi-Fi services specifications, respectively. HGI\u2019s work explains requirements for the configuration of certain radio parameters, as well as the way Wi-Fi is used to deliver Guest Access and Hotspot Services. <\/p>\n
The third document, HGI-RD048v2, which is also known as HGI Open Platform 2.1, provides important updates to software modularity requirements, in particular using OSGi and Java technology. Software modularity allows code to be downloaded and executed on the Home Gateway in a flexible way and is a cornerstone requirement for Smart Home services.<\/p>\n
HGI\u2019s final symposium in Venice in March 2016 covered a spectrum of issues in the broadband home during two days of intense discussions by HGI members, liaison partners and invited guests. The subjects ranged from access speed evolution and device modelling for Smart Home to Home Gateway platform technology. The symposium also highlighted the potential of \u201cdown-streaming\u201d HGI work items so they can be continued in other industry alliances after HGI\u2019s closure on June 30, 2016. <\/p>\n
The proceedings of the symposium and a summary presentation, along with the three newly published documents, are available at: www.homegatewayinitiative.org<\/p>\n
The documents\u2019 titles in full are as follows:<\/p>\n
\u2022 HGI-RD045v2 \u2013 Wi-Fi Requirements for Home Gateways: Automatic Channel Selection, Channel Measurements and Repeaters
\n\u2022 HGI-RD057 \u2013 Wi-Fi System Requirements for Home Gateways: NFC Pairing, Guest Access, Hotspot
