and national standards relating to PLC in Europe, in particular the IEC, Cenélec,

and the ETSI.

Consortiums and Associations

In addition to the bodies and institutions above, some associations and consortiums

play a pre-standardization, or even standardization, role for PLC; in particular, the

three major parties involved include HomePlug, the IEEE, and the Opera consor-

tium. Historically in Europe, any lobbying in favor of PLC was conducted by the

PUA and the PLC Forum.

Figure 1.4 illustrates the roles of each of the parties involved in this PLC

pre-standardization.

HomePlug Alliance

Manufacturers for HomePlug Alliance groups cover both PLC technology and ser-

vices in order to develop HomePlug specifications (HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV,

and HomePlug BPL).

At present, only the HomePlug 1.0 specification has been finalized and imple-

mented in many products on the market.

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)

The IEEE, a non-profit-making body, is the largest technical international profes-

sional association and one of the main authorities for sectors as varied as aerospace

systems, computers and telecommunications, biomedical technologies, electrical

energy, or consumer electronics.
