Intellon Ships Millionth IC
Intellon Corp. (Ocala, FL), a provider of integrated circuits (ICs) for high-speed powerline networking, has shipped its one millionth HomePlug IC. According to the company, virtually all of the HomePlug powerline communications products in the global market today are powered by Intellon's integrated circuits.
The ICs enable high-speed communications over existing powerlines in homes and small businesses. They power over 50 products from more than 24 equipment manufacturers. These products can be purchased at retail outlets such as Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, Mediamarket and Radio Shack.
Intellon customers are continuing to develop new products that take advantage of the ICs with applications as WiFi extension, online gaming, whole-house audio and security. The ICs are also being used for broadband over powerline (BPL) access applications, opening a third pipe (in addition to cable and DSL) to deliver broadband to homes and multi-dwelling units such as apartments and hotel rooms.
Intellon is extending the capability of its HomePlug product line to enable HDTV distribution over home powerlines. By the end of the year, Intellon will launch its PowerAV chipsets, which support application speeds in excess of 100 Mbps, allowing transmission of multiple audio, standard-definition video and HDTV video streams over powerlines.
