- New Wi-Fi extender, Ethernet adapter
and powerline networking products will be on display at Broadband
World Forum
Broadband World Forum – 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 Cambridge Industries Group (CIG) has selected its
G.hn Wave-2 chipsets to build four new products that help carriers
address the gigabit home-networking market.
CIG is a leading global original design manufacturer / joint
design manufacturer (ODM / JDM) based in Shanghai with US
headquarters in Santa Clara, CA. The new family of products
developed by CIG address multiple needs of the global market:
- For service providers that plan to use
in-home coaxial cables for broadband delivery, the WF-802CW
(802.11ac dual-band 2x2 Wi-Fi extender) and the WF-802C (Ethernet
adapter) rely on MaxLinear’s G.hn Wave-2 technology to deliver up
to 2 Gbps over any coaxial cable, without requiring point-of-entry
filters or splitter replacement.
- For service providers that prefer the
ease of use of powerline networking, the WF-802GW (802.11ac
dual-band 2x2 Wi-Fi extender) and the WF-802G (Ethernet adapter)
use MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 technology to deliver gigabit-speed
services that consumers can easily install by plugging into any
home socket.
CIG’s G.hn products enable consumers and carriers to address the
challenges of whole-home Wi-Fi delivery including overcoming
attenuation by walls and other construction material, interference
from neighboring Wi-Fi networks, and other issues. By using CIG's
G.hn products as an always-on wired backhaul, CIG’s Wi-Fi extenders
provide a more robust Wi-Fi experience that can deliver 4K video to
any room without buffering delays or packet drops.
All CIG G.hn products include Gigabit Ethernet ports, multiple
LEDs that display connectivity and security status, and can be
installed by any user at the push of a button. CIG G.hn products
are certified by HomeGrid Forum, which provides carriers and
consumers with guarantees of interoperability with other certified
G.hn products.
“By leveraging MaxLinear’s G.hn technology, CIG has been able to
rapidly develop a full range of carrier-grade products that can
accommodate the needs of any service provider, regardless of the
cabling of their customers,” said Ali Taslimi, EVP and Head of
North America Sales and Marketing at CIG. “The fact that the same
software and chip family can be reused across multiple networking
products has significantly reduced our R&D effort and has
enabled CIG to quickly adapt to our global customer needs.”
“Leading vendors like CIG, which have a long history of
manufacturing broadband equipment for the best-known brands in the
service provider industry, are the perfect partners to leverage
MaxLinear’s G.hn technology,” said Will Torgerson, MaxLinear Vice
President & General Manager of the Broadband Group. "We look
forward to jointly developing a new generation of gigabit-class
Wi-Fi extenders and network adapters that enable carriers to
deliver gigabit services that consumers can enjoy in every room in
their homes, while providing carriers with options like remote
monitoring via TR-069, remote firmware upgrades and strong AES-128
encryption.”
These new G.hn products are part of CIG’s HomeMesh™ offering,
which provides users with a total home networking solution with
stable connections, low latency, seamless roaming, and high
throughput that crosses multiple wireless and wireline media. In
addition, CIG’s HomeMesh™ software platform and mobile app offer
users a convenient and unified configuration and user experience
for their pay-as-it-grows-based home network.
CIG is exhibiting HomeMesh products at the Broadband World Forum
in Berlin, Germany, October 24th-26th, 2017. Please contact a CIG
sales representative to arrange for an appointment.
