
Establishes secure links
Quality of Service implementations
Network Management
Benefit
Simplifies network setup for consumers [networking proficiency not required].
Example Use Case
Shawn works for a Service Provider and regularly installs triple play
services.

1905.1 reduces the time Shawn spends adding products and services to
home networks.
Advanced Diagnostics （高级诊断）
Technology
Empowers service providers to gain access to a customer’s network
and troubleshoot.
The overall network monitors itself to ensure reliable and
uninterrupted operation.
Benefit
Ease of troubleshooting from a Service Provider perspective.
More robust home networks increase consumer confidence.
Example Use Case
A service provide is concerned with the amount of time and money
spent troubleshooting.

By utilizing 1905.1’s advanced diagnostics, the service provider is able to
quickly resolve issues on hybrid networks.
Quality of Service （服务质量）
Technology
Specifies end-to-end QoS without compromising the internal
integrity of any medium over which it runs.
Assigns high priority to IGMP based IPTV streams.
Benefit
Ensures delivery of video will not be interrupted by other network
traffic.
Example Use Case
An IPTV Service Provider utilizes IEEE 1905.1’s QoS in a customer’s
home.

The network recognizes an IPTV video stream, intelligently chooses the
best medium for delivery and ensures the video goes uninterrupted.
Aggregated Throughput （整体性能）
Technology
Enables a single device to aggregate throughput from multiple
interfaces.
Benefit
Maximizes speed (throughput) for consumer applications
regardless of proximity to the router.
Especially important for demanding applications such as IPTV and
online gaming.
Example Use Case
Conrad has been unable to stream blue ray quality HD video to his
bedroom located on the 2nd floor far from his router.

By switching to 1905.1, Conrad’s network aggregates his set top box’s
HomePlug and Wi-Fi connections to easily support his HD video stream.
Fallback （及时切换）
Technology
Optimizes the hybrid network by making an alternative route
available when a link is down or congested.
Benefit
Increases the performance and reliability of the network.
Example Use Case
Larry is using a Wi-Fi connection to stream a video to his TV when
the Wi-Fi signal becomes weak.

The network automatically switches to a HomePlug connection without
Larry’s knowledge.
Load Balancing （负载平衡）
Technology
Enables a hybrid network to intelligently distribute video over
different paths.
Benefit
Increases hybrid network’s reliability by limiting congestion.
Alleviates network glitches by switching paths if one path
becomes impaired.
Example Use Case
Molly streams an HD video while her boys play online games on a
1905.1 hybrid network.

The network delivers a flawless HD viewing and gaming experience by
intelligently choosing between [and aggregating] the wired and wireless
paths.
Multiple Simultaneous Streams
（多并发媒流体）
Technology
The network utilizes multiple mediums simultaneously.
Aggregates throughput across mediums.
Benefit
IPTV and other broadband applications can exceed the maximum
throughput of a single medium.
Enables consumers to stream multiple HD videos simultaneously.
Example Use Case
Jon has been unable to deliver simultaneous HD video streams
using a single technology so he purchases 1905.1 products.

Jon is now taking advantage of aggregated throughput and can stream
sports to his tablet while his wife watches her favorite movie on Netflix.
Self-install （自动安装）
Technology
Self configuration and push button authentication.
Benefit
Increases end users’ ability to self-install.
Example Use Case
Tommy and 3 friends get together once a week with their own
game consoles to play online games.

Each of the boys buy a set of HomePlug adapters; all they need in order to
connect is find an outlet and press the security/authentication button.
Security (安全性）
Technology
Consistent password and authentication procedures for legacy
devices.
Button push security configuration.
Benefit
Helps consumers, of all skill levels, to enable network security.
Example Use Case
Alice is concerned about privacy but doesn’t know the first thing
about setting a password on her router.

She secures her 1905.1 network with the simple push of a button on each
device and sleeps easy.
Energy Management （功耗管理）
Technology
Optimizes power usage across different technologies for
“greener” operations.
Selects interfaces for transmission of data such that other
interfaces can be placed in sleep mode.
Benefit
Enables users to save electricity costs without sacrificing
network performance.
Example Use Case
Lance is a recent graduate and wants to be environmentally
friendly so selects 1905.1 gear.

His network chooses paths that allow devices not in use to enter sleep
mode. His network is responsive and his electric bill is deflated.
Universal Connectivity（连接性）
Technology
Integration between wired technologies (HomePlug, MoCA and
Ethernet) and Wi-Fi.
Benefit
Brings whole home connectivity to a new level.
Anywhere there is an outlet, coax jack or Wi-Fi signal, there is
broadband.
No more need to arrange a living room to place the TV and Game
Console next to the broadband gateway.
Example Use Case
Ben uses a number of technologies in his connected home that are all
seamlessly connected on his 1905.1 hybrid network:

His NAS is out of site in the closet connected via a HomePlug adapter but easy to find on his hybrid network.

His IPTV is connected using MoCA near the gateway.

His mobile devices enjoy plenty of bandwidth using HomePlug/Wi-Fi range extenders where the signal normally would not reach.
