ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

IEEE 1901

IEEE 1901 is a set of standards that help make sure that everyday things like TVs, phones, and computers can all send and receive data from each other quickly, reliably, and securely. It uses a special type of technology called "power line communication" that helps data move through the power lines of your home. This allows devices to communicate data without having to use any extra wires or build any extra networks. While it's mainly used to help send data across your home network, it can also be used to send data to devices like your TV or phone over the Internet.
