Marvell offers new network connectivity options for home with G.hn chipset

 

Marvell announced the introduction of the ITU-T G.hn
compliant transceiver chipset, which enables the complete unification of the
home wireline network for distributing more content to more screens in more
rooms in the home.

 

The new G.hn transceiver chipset family is designed to
provide optimized home network performance over any wired medium (including
powerline, coax and phoneline/twisted pair) in a single chipset, reducing
overall cost, complexity of design and time to market (TTM) for system
designers.

 

With up to a 1 Gbps wire data rate, Marvell expect the G.hn chipset to be an ideal solution for the wireline distribution
of bandwidth-intensive and real-time applications such as HD IPTV, VoIP,
gaming, multi-room DVR and beyond.

 

“Marvell’s new G.hn transceiver chipset delivers
optimal networking solutions for a broad range of applications in consumer
electronics and service provider environments. The flexibility the chipset is
designed to bring, in terms of medium choice along with our complete design
package approach, enables Marvell customers to quickly adapt the technology to
their specific markets and customers,” said Gerry Liu, vice president of
the Connectivity Business Group at Marvell.

 

“The G.hn chipset is a key element of our connected
home portfolio, enabling our customers to offer an immersive home network
experience in an increasingly crowded market,” Liu added.

 

The introduction of the G.hn transceiver chipset further
expands Marvell’s comprehensive connectivity portfolio. Marvell stands out in
offering a complete set of connectivity solutions that enables original equipment
manufacturers and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to select complete
multi-technology design packages to create systems that provide seamless and
engaging experiences for consumers.

 

Building upon Marvell’s firmware for UPA Powerline
Communications (PLC), the G.hn firmware takes networks to new levels of
performance, while ensuring coexistence with millions of deployed legacy UPA
PLC products.

 

Marvell’s extensive experience in PLC also enables a
fully optimized, easy-to set up solution for use in homes globally as well as
extensive in-home manageability for service providers. The reference designs
released with the G.hn chipset introduction can be ported directly to
manufacturing prototypes, speeding TTM.

 

Recently, Marvell announced the launch
of the Marvell PXA1801 single-chip LTE world modem. The PXA1801 single-chip LTE
world modem combines Marvell’s communications and silicon expertise to enable
the design of a wide array of high-performance, low-power Internet-connected
devices including: smartphones, tablets, laptops, automotive, set-top-boxes and
TVs.  

 

The PXA1801 combines 3GPP R9 Cat 4 FDD-LTE (Frequency
Division Duplexing Long Term Evolution) and TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing
Long Term Evolution) with R8 DC-HSPA+ (Dual Carrier Evolved High-Speed Packet
Access) for both WB-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) and TD-SCDMA
(Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) standards and EDGE
(Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) delivering the highest data rate
available in any given geography.
