- Comtrend’s new PG-9083 G.hn Powerline
Adapter offers up to 2 Gbps network performance optimized for
real-time IPTV, voice and gaming applications
MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced that Comtrend Corp.
has selected its powerline G.hn Wave-2 networking chipset for a new
powerline adapter.
The MaxLinear parts are used in Comtrend’s new PG-9083 G.hn
Powerline Adapter, which is designed to allow users to extend a
home’s local area network using existing power lines and outlets at
data rates of up to 2 Gbps. The HomeGrid Forum-certified device
supports all G.hn standard modes, including the latest MIMO 100MHz
band-plan.
Comtrend based its new adapter on MaxLinear’s 88LX5152 and
88LX2720 based G.hn Wave-2 chipset for powerline applications. The
chipset is designed for premium performance Wave-2 applications up
to 2 Gbps with a TDMA-based MAC for low-latency applications like
gaming, VoIP and IP television.
The device leverages a low-density parity-check, forward error
control mechanism that delivers error-free 4K IPTV video delivery.
The chipset delivers standard AES-128 encryption with a
plug-and-play security set up.
"We’ve worked hard to ensure that our G.hn technology for
powerline, coax and twisted pair applications is the fastest on the
market, and this extension of our relationship with Comtrend is
proof that this investment is paying off,” said Will Torgerson,
Vice President & General Manager of the Broadband Group for
MaxLinear. “Comtrend is an important leader in this market, serving
a growing, worldwide customer base, and we’re looking forward to
continuing to be a part of their success.”
“The connected-home experience is evolving to include more
devices and higher performance, and we’ve designed the PowerGrid
9083 to support these applications with the best quality data
transmission and ITU-T G.hn standard compliance for a truly
impressive performance,” said Frank Chuang, Vice President of
marketing for COMTREND. “Comtrend is a long-time customer of
MaxLinear’s G.hn technology, and we appreciate the constant
innovation and support for the latest standards.”
About Comtrend
Founded in 1990, Comtrend is a leading designer and manufacturer
of broadband communication equipment. In 2002, Comtrend
distinguished itself in North America by joining the IPTV
revolution for telephone service providers. At that time, video
over DSL was fraught with quality issues based on the emerging
standards, outside plant quality, and interoperability issues.
Since that time, Comtrend and the many flavors of DSL have become
stable partners to hundreds of service providers worldwide. As new
technologies evolved, Comtrend’s broadband gateways have faithfully
kept the lead. Today, whether a customer is connected via fiber,
cable, satellite, or DSL, a Comtrend gateway will facilitate the
fastest connections while integrating TR-069 manageability. This
software technology serves as the backbone to all tiers of service
providers, allowing management of tens of thousands of customer
premises equipment. From 2010 to the present day, Comtrend has
continually grown its product lineup, bringing broadband beyond the
gateway. Residential and business users seeking easier ways to
extend their networks, whether wirelessly or through a hard-wire
connection, now have Comtrend traversing power and phone lines,
cable, and wireless. It is apparent today that homes and offices of
all sizes cross over to deploy similar technologies.
