Launched in October 1998, the Home API Working Group is an industry initiative providing an open specification for defining a standard set of software services and application programming interfaces, or APIs. These APIs allow consumer electronics and home appliances to be monitored and controlled by computer applications. Six of the most prominent technology manufacturers involved in this initiative are Microsoft,Honeywell, Intel,Mitsubishi Electric, Compaq Computer, and Philips Electronics.

Rounding off the herd is the work of Entropic, the developer of a high-speed network known as c.LINK-270, which operates over existing coax cable. The 270 Mbps network aims to provide a home backbone to computers, set-top boxes, and other media devices using the familiar coax "F" connector as the interface. The Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA)-founded by Entropic-will oversee further development of this technology.

One of the main factors presently prompting this market to flourish is the availability of true carrier-grade VoIP gateways having low down time and high volume capabilities (high port density). However, without a reliable data path from source to destination to minimize delays, the technology will not be acceptable to consumers. This will continue to be the challenge for manufacturers of residential gateways and Internet backbone services in the future, particularly as data demands become increasingly more complex.
