PDNL
Consumer Networking: The Value Proposition
Consumer Applications must serve at least one of the
following areas
• Domestic productivity
• Economics
• Education/profession/business
• Entertainment
• Family/community/social life
• Healthcare/welfare
• Safety

BoPL and Power Line Home Network
BoPLGW
• No new wiring
• Home Net Rate 56kb/s-14 Mb/s
• Logical domain separation
• Access has to compete for bandwidth
• Priority is to Home Network

Ubiquitous Broadband Scenarios
Broadband to MDU Wireless
Internet
All Home Networks will be able to
take advantage of the wireless access.
This approach can utilize existing
technologies as well as TV-band
networking

BoPL: Requirements Highlights
•Always-ON
•Rate-adaptive symmetric or non-symmetric
•Economy 64-384 kb/s (desirable for mass market)
•Business Class 1-2 Mb/S (feasible for selected markets)
•Premium 10 Mb/S +, QoS (not practical for mass market)
•High peak-to-average throughput ratio
•Harmonized with home networking
•Automatic provisioning,
•EML/OSS and integrated with utility’s OSS
•SLA: BoPL-ISP-ASP-CE_Dev_ Mgt
•Flexible business models: Flat-rate user subscription or ASPsupported service
•Open standards – retail scenario for horizontal market
PDNL
Consumer-centric Case for Standardization
•Most consumers are not networked today
• BoPL promises mass market broadband more than any other access
technology due to ubiquity
•Economic level of mass consumer market implies BoPLGW price
points far below current DSL or cable modem levels
•Service price points for mass market access is probably significantly below
DSL and Cable Modem service
•A desirable scenario is for BoPL access service cost to be carried by ASP(s)
and be free to most consumers
•BoPLGW combined with a power meter and energy management controller
may be a winning scenario
•Best consumer market mode is retail (vs. vertical markets)
•Open standards enable horizontal retail markets
