The Standard For Home Entertainment Networks Over Coax Europe

Numerous technology standards claiming HD distribution capability Some are self-defined as LAN, PAN or display link Multiple wireless standards (WiFi, WiMedia, WirelessHD) with proprietary offshoots (Ruckus, Pulse-Link) Multiple wired standards (HomePlugAV, UPA, HD PLC, HPNA 3.1, HANA) with proprietary offshoots (HomePlugAV over coax) All suffer from varying degrees of fragmentation and interoperability None are truly universal in terms of application, geographic and/or industry segment availability. Time to start thinking in terms of global and universal standard: Specification and organization Multiple geographies and industry segments 1 Standards Overview

Europe: Market Growth Parks Associates: Between 2004 and 2006, home network adoption boomed across Europe, with growth rates surpassing Asia and North America. France and the U.K. both trebled the number of households with a home network, putting them slightly ahead of the U.S. Italy and Germany still lagged behind but posted notable growth nonetheless. Europe is in the midst of a home networking boom thanks to an increasingly competitive market for broadband services. France and the U.K. have been at the forefront, and Germany, Spain, and Italy have been bringing up the rear.
