Home networking made easy – new Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Standard

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows for seamless connectivity in the home between a vast variety of devices, computers, and operating systems, over virtually any type of connection.

ISO/IEC 29341:2008, Information technology – UPnP device architecture, was developed by the UPnP Forum, an industry initiative designed to provide simple and robust connectivity among consumer electronics, intelligent appliances, and mobile devices, from many different vendors. The Forum consists of more than 868 vendors.

‘With the adoption of ISO/IEC 29341, UPnP has become the first Standard for IP-based home networking in the industry to become a worldwide recognised international Standard,’ says Dr Alan Messer, Chair of the UPnP Forum’s Steering Committee.

ISO/IEC 29341 has 73 parts that address the various aspects of the technology. To browse the parts of the Standard, go to www.standards.co.nz, click ISO under the ‘Catalogue’ section, and enter keyword 29341. You can order the Standard online, or call our customer services team on 0800 782 632.
