"In addition, it illustrates the broad appeal of the Forum and the progress that G.hn is making within the industry. This is a testament to the great work our members undertake."

Telebyte is a recognized leader in G.fast physical layer testing, and also provides test equipment for powerline devices, including G.hn.

Working across multiple vendors, Telebyte is a driving force for industry interoperability, and is an active member of the Broadband Forum and the DSL Consortium at UNH-IOL. It also manufactures standard UPLC splitters -- which allow a like-for-like comparison of different products.

Michael Breneisen, President of Telebyte commented: "Telebyte has gone from strength to strength this year -- joining the HomeGrid Forum will enable us to further align our interoperability goals and ambitions within the industry. We believe this will be of benefit to our customers now, and in the future, as we continue to push for the highest standard in networking technologies, including G.hn."
