HomePNA is one of the leading wired home networking technologies and the choice of major service providers worldwide. The HomePNA Alliance develops home networking specifications for distributing entertainment and triple play data over existing coax cables and phone wires. Over 30 million HomePNA-certified products have been shipped to telco, satellite, and cable service providers worldwide supplying critical components of their IPTV services deployments. HomePNA is an ITU Standard (G.9954) and is included in the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines.

"We are pleased that TRENDnet, an award winning global supplier of networking solutions for small to mid-sized business and home users, has joined the alliance," said Eran Gureshnik, HomePNA president. "Their membership demonstrates the value of the HomePNA Alliance to service providers."

"Our customers are demanding a cost effective solution for distributing entertainment and triple play data over existing coax cables and therefore are specifying HomePNA certified products," said Sonny Su, TRENDnet technology director.
