The Digital Living Network Alliance, HomePlug® Powerline Alliance and HD-PLC Alliance recently announced that DLNA has approved the HomePlug AV and HD-PLC powerline networking standards to be incorporated into the next version of its Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines.

Powerline networking products are certified by HomePlug Alliance and HD-PLC Alliance for HomePlug AV or HD-PLC technology. By adopting powerline networking into its Interoperability Guidelines, DLNA will enable DLNA Certified® products to be connected anywhere in the home where there is an electrical outlet. These technologies are ideal for connecting DLNA Certified® game consoles, network storage devices, TVs and other DLNA Certified® products far from a home router or modem for a high quality entertainment experience.
