MILPITAS, CA — (Marketwired) — 06/04/13 — Sigma Designs® (NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading provider of system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for home entertainment, connectivity and converging multimedia delivery, today announced advanced networking supplier, ZyXel, has selected Sigma Designs- newly certified G.hn CG5200 family of chipsets for their PLA6245 – 1000 Mbps Powerline Pass-Thru Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
The CG5200 enables a fully self-installable home entertainment network for the distribution of Triple Play and IPTV over existing in-home powerline, coax and phone line wires. Sigma-s G.hn CG5200 chipsets improve coverage and throughput over powerline, even through surge protected power strips and multiples phases.
Consumers today face a mix of non-interoperable home networking technologies across the various wired media in the home. G.hn offers compliance to a single international standard for establishing high bandwidth communications across all existing wires. With Sigma-s CG5200, every power outlet, coaxial outlet and phone jack in the home becomes a network connectivity point, providing consumers with convenience and flexibility enabling traffic to be delivered seamlessly from one medium to another.
The ZyXEL PLA6245 adapters feature a built-in power outlet design that replaces the wall outlets that are normally blocked when the adapter is plugged in. This allows extra flexibility and convenience in installing and deploying the ideal high performance network for streaming high-definition video, music and other digital multimedia content throughout a home.
“Sigma Designs- G.hn chipset offers one of the most flexible and high performance solutions for simplified home networking deployment. We-re excited to deliver to the market,” said Brian Feng, Senior Vice President, Key Account Business Unit, ZyXEL Americas.
“We are extremely delighted to have ZyXEL select our second generation G.hn chipset for their newest and most advanced powerline adaptor. CG5200 was built with considerations around service providers- and consumers- real world challenges in mind,” said Gabi Hilevitz, Sigma Designs- vice president and general manager connectivity business unit. “The G.hn CG5200 family chipset offers complete self-install home networking for multiple streaming with no new wires needed to be installed. It-s a winning solution for service providers and customers alike.”
Sigma-s CG5200 family of chipset also supports TR069 remote management and monitoring which offers service providers convenient access to monitor, diagnose, troubleshoot and upgrade network functionality resulting in an overall reduction of service calls, returns and maintenance costs.
