OSHAN stands for Open Source Home Area Network. It provides free, downloadable source code, which can be executed on the hardware platform of choice, for communication in residential homes.

OSHAN enables HAN manufacturers to share and contribute to the same source code base. Communication standards, such as IEEE 802.15 and 6LoWPAN, can be leveraged by HAN manufacturers in order to create, with the open-source community, interoperable products at low cost.

Context
OSHAN extends what has been done in the computer industry (Linux), mobile phone industry (Android) and embedded systems (TinyOS) to home device communication.
