Plaster Networks Supports Broadband Forum's TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol

Offers Service Providers Powerful Remote Management and Easy Administration of Powerline Network Adapters

MENLO PARK, California, April 12, 2010 - Plaster Networks (www.plasternetworks.com) announces its support
for Broadband Forum's TR-069 technical specification as part of the company's
powerline Ethernet solution. Service providers can now take advantage of
Plaster Networks advanced service for automated configuration, management,
and provisioning of subscribers' home powerline networks through their
existing ACS (automated configuration server).

TR-069 defines a communication protocol for the remote management of
customer premise equipment - an important development for the faster
deployment time and troubleshooting of home networks.

Plaster Networks Service enables a reliable, managed home network
supporting a high-speed Ethernet connection in virtually any room in the
house via existing electrical wiring. Plaster Networks provides remote
management and diagnostics that can help service providers control support
costs and reduce "truck rolls" associated with home network issues.
Integration with ACS systems offers significant investment protection for
existing OSS software to manage powerline adapters within the home. Visit

Service providers can enable any existing HomePlug AV network for remote
management by adding a Plaster Networks PLN3 unit, or swapping in a PLN3 unit
for one of the existing adapters. This capability provides a simple,
convenient way to manage an installed base of HomePlug AV adapters using
TR-069.

"Over 30 service providers worldwide have deployed Atheros' HomePlug AV
powerline technology for in-home distribution of IPTV services," said Todd
Antes, Vice President of Marketing, Digital Home of Atheros Communications.
"We expect Plaster Networks' TR-069 solution incorporating Atheros' INT6400
HPAV powerline technology will enhance the performance of IPTV networks to
drive greater efficiencies for service providers."

"When 35% of service provider support calls are related to home
networking issues, you know there is enormous upside for cable and IPTV
operators to troubleshoot and diagnose remotely," comments Gary Schultz,
President of San Jose, Calif.-based Multimedia Research Group. "The TR-069
standard is a critical step to making this a more common occurrence
especially across the numerous devices being used in homes."

"Service Providers are growing increasingly dependent on a reliable home
network to deliver advanced content such as IPTV services," comments Jeff
Scroggin, CEO of Plaster Networks. "Plaster Networks provides service
providers with the reliability they need in a home network, at the same time
helping to dramatically reduce support costs through remote management and
diagnostics. With our support for the TR-069 protocol, service providers can
now integrate these remote management capabilities with their existing ACS
software."
