IEEE 1901-2010 standard was approved in 2010 December.

When installed properly, IEEE 1901 compliant networking products can provide a wired Internet connection to devices where Wi-Fi networks cannot reach. Broadband over Power Line can extend a wired internet connection without installing new cables. New cables are not required, because Broadband over Power Line transmit data signals along the electrical wires already in your home. Broadband over Power Line (IEEE 1901-2010 standard) is considered an alternative to Wi-Fi networks.
