Lantiq has now advanced its strategy to make the broadband gateway the central node for smart home networks by integrating support for the ULE Alliance’s HAN FUN protocol into its software powering the xRX 200/300 Gateway System-on-Chip families.

Integration of the HAN FUN (Home Area Network FUNctionality) protocol makes it easy for gateways based on Lantiq chipsets to act as a home automation hub with support for “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices such as climate sensors and control units, smart meters, lighting and smart appliances.
