IEEE 1905

IEEE 1905.1 is an IEEE standard which defines a network enabler for home networking supporting both wireless and wireline technologies: IEEE 802.11 (marketed under the Wi-Fi trademark), IEEE 1901 (HomePlug, HD-PLC) power-line networking, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and Multimedia over Coax (MoCA).

The IEEE P1905.1 working group had its first meeting in December 2010 to begin development of convergence digital home network specifications. Around 30 organizations participated in the group and achieved approval of the draft P1905.1 standard in January 2013 with final approval and publication by IEEE-SA in April 2013.

The IEEE 1905.1 Standard Working Group is sponsored by the IEEE power-line communication standards committee (PLCSC). From about 2013 to 2015, a program called nVoy certified related products. It is not to be confused with the Pogo Mobile and nVoy device of the same name nor various networked devices named Envoy. Vendors (such as Qualcomm and Broadcom) endorsed the certification regime. Consumer-level lists of features and benefits of IEEE 1905 are also the responsibility of nVoy certifiers.
