What is the Home Gateway Initiative?

The Home Gateway Initiative (HGI) is an industry body that offers an active dialogue between telecoms operators, vendors and manufacturers and defines technical specifications for Home Gateways.

The group, founded by nine telecoms operators in 2004, currently represents key worldwide players in the home gateway or home networking domain, including operators, CPE vendors, chipset manufacturers, network equipment providers and software designers.

The HGI works to facilitate the development of a Home Gateway device that matches the business requirements of telecoms operators; shortening the time to market of advanced, revenue generating services whilst providing an improved customer experience by seamlessly integrating devices, networks and services into a homogenous, easy to use broadband home environment.

The HGI works closely with other industry bodies in its aim to create a future-proof Home Gateway that not only incorporates existing standards and proven technologies, but also can be integrated with end to end network and service architectures and the ever-expanding and varying customer environment.

The HGI enables operators to focus on deploying revenue generating services while facilitating the manufacturing processes of vendors, and the experience of customers.
