Ocala (FL) - HomePlug chipmaker Intellon today announced what it says is the world's first integrated circuit based on the recently-approved 200 Mbps HomePlug AV specification.
The INT6000 is based on the worldwide HomePlug AV specification approved by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance earlier this year. INT6000 features include 200 Mbps PHY bandwidth, robust QoS, built-in 128-bit AES encryption, and the ability to operate over powerline and coax networks. Intellon claims "whole house coverage" for the device and compatibility with HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo products.
The company said it will demonstrate the INT6000 at next month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Sample INT6000 ICs and "enablement tools" will be available to customers during the first quarter of 2006, with initial HomePlug AV consumer products expected during the "second quarter of 2006".
