DHWG Membership

The Digital Home Working Group (DHWG) is a non-profit collaborative trade organization chartered with delivering an interoperability framework of design guidelines based on open industry standards to complete the cross-industry digital convergence. The value proposition to manufacturers and content providers will be to ensure that all devices designed around DHWG guidelines communicate, which opens up new ways to differentiate and expands existing product categories. The value of the digital home vision is in its ability to provide consumers with a wide range of compelling uses and experiences. This requires the availability of a broad spectrum of products across many categories. Learn more about the DHWG
