HomePlug Powerline Alliance

HomePlug AV – The Only High-speed Power line Technology with multiple silicon providers

It is expected that HomePlug AV technology will have 6 silicon providers by the end of the 2009. It’s the only 200Mbps powerline technology with multiple silicon providers.

Having multiple silicon providers cements HomePlug’s position as the defacto powerline standards and provides its customers with competitive costs and complementary and diverse features.

Plus, the solution provided by Gigle has already been HomePlug certified and is interoperable with the existing deployed base.
