About Home Plug Technology

The Renovia System brings the best of NuVoNet audio control to the existing home market in a dramatic way. At the heart of the Renovia System's
operation is HomePlug® 1.0 Plus technology. A consortium of large CE Industry companies known as the HomePlug Alliance created the HomePlug
Powerline communication standard EIA/TIA 1113. This initially enabled Ethernet communication over existing AC powerline wiring. The
breakthrough of this development is the ability to extend serial digital data communication without the labor-intensive task of running additional
network wiring through an existing structure.
The basis of HomePlug's success is its utilization of a relatively high signal frequency spectrum (2 – 30 MHZ for Renovia’s HomePlug version 1.0 Plus
transmission scheme) enabling communication in the presence of strong lower frequency noise disturbances created by electrical appliances fed by
AC power from the same cable. By isolating high frequency signal transmission from low frequency electrical power and load disturbances, a
standard residential electrical supply cable can be used in the same way as multi-conductor network wiring. Thus, the daunting task of routing
multiple wires through an existing multi-zone installation is no longer an issue.
Since 2002, this technology has grown into a robust communication technology that enables reliable transmission of NuVo's source metadata and
audio signals to multiple zones. After all, it is the use of an always-present wire, whether it is CAT5 and speaker wire or the AC power line, that
ensures a pleasant, uninterrupted user experience. Through the use of HomePlug, it is complete audio source control and quality sound
reproduction throughout the home that defines the lifestyle - enhancing Renovia experience.
