Purpose
The Home Area Networking (HAN) Group was set up in September 1995 at
the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. We have, since,
researched, designed, and built a number of Home Networking and Home
Automation Systems. Our research interests include everything from the
physical layer to HCI. Our systems are aimed at a multimedia-capable,
auto-configuring, self-organizing, highly reliable, scalable,
extensible, secure and easy to use HAN.
Main Projects
 | AutoHAN - An application environment for simple home integration. |
| HAN Events - An approach to home device control using events. |
| Hanlan - A multiaccess ATM and Ethernet LAN using home phone wiring. |
| Media Cubes - Intuitive lego-style tangible interfaces for AutoHan programming. |
|
|
Older Projects |
| Warren - A lost cost ATM approach to HAN allowing for proxy control of dumb ATM devices. |
