Today's press release from HomePlug announced the first multi-vendor interoperability event for the IEEE 1901.2 narrowband PLC technology.
Semtech (using the recently purchased EnVerv PLC assets) and Texas Instruments were the 1901.2 chip providers. Cisco and Itron were the 1901.2 equipment providers.
In addition to testing the PHY/MAC interoperability using various modulations and payload sizes in the FCC-above-CELENEC band, Cisco was surely hovering about to ensure that IEEE 1901.2 implementations were exchanging IPv6 packets correctly. HomePlug said that "Participants confirmed interoperability".
STMicroelectronics seems to have not attended the event. This is curious given that their STCOMET10 chip was announced 15 months ago as supporting IEEE 1901.2 narrowband PLC.
