The introduction of high-speed data services to customer premises that rapidly adopts new technologies allows the distribution of such data within customer premises. This is leading to a number of different wireless (e.g. wireless LAN and DECT) and wireline technologies (e.g. LAN as well as technologies designed to exploit existing telephone extension and power distribution wiring) to interconnect a variety of in-home electronic and electrical equipment (such as STB), and PCs. Many types of broadband services are provided on IP networks, such as VoIP, VoD, and broadcasting. Moreover, the electromagnetic environment in the home will change due to this situation. Therefore, new electromagnetic compatibility issues may occur in a home network environment. This Recommendation aims to ensure normal operation of home networking devices and to provide a new additional immunity test method for broadband services, especially for devices that are sensitive to broadband interferences.
