ENABLING THE HOME AREA NETWORK MARKET
Electric utilities worldwide are deploying millions of smart meters as part of their AMI (automatic metering infrastructure) programs. For most utilities, the rollout will extend beyond the meter to energy consuming products. A Home Area Network, or HAN, may be deployed to connect thermostats, in-home displays, pool pumps, water heaters and various other products together, forming a responsive energy-aware network.
The Home Area Network: Architectural Considerations for Rapid Innovation
This whitepaper, published by Trilliant, addresses whether or not integration of the HAN gateway function into the smart meter is a smart architecture for the Smart Grid. It discusses the architectural alternatives for the HAN gateway, some background information is provided on the HAN's value in the smart grid and HAN architectures in existing standards.
