PORTLAND, Ore. -- The HomePlug® Powerline Alliance (www.homeplug.org), the world’s leading industry group for powerline networking, today announced the HomePlug Technology Conference to be held November 8-9, 2011 in San Francisco, California.

As the global powerline networking market continues to grow rapidly – annual shipments of HomePlug broadband speed products are expected to triple by 2014 – the conference will highlight both the underlying applications for adoption of powerline networking and how HomePlug technology provides the foundation for standardization. The two day event will explore product applications ranging from digital entertainment to smart grid/smart energy and provide an in-depth understanding of the HomePlug interoperable standards family and the HomePlug certification program and resources. Anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the powerline communications industry is welcome to attend.

“As the number of HomePlug devices approaches the 100 million mark, the impact and potential of HomePlug technology continues to expand across ever increasing numbers of industries,” said Rob Ranck, president of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. “This two day conference is designed to offer a real world overview of how the technology is being developed, implemented and certified. We look forward to welcoming not only those already involved with HomePlug projects today but also those looking for information on how to get started and benefit their business tomorrow.”
