CopperGate buys HomePlug AV Powerline Technology
CopperGate has acquired the HomePlug AV business from Conexant, including all relevant power line technology and silicon products, related patents, appropriate licences, and members of staff.
Former Conexant employees will become part of the CopperGate team and will expand the company’s initiatives in Southern California. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
CopperGate is already the leading provider of HomePNA compliant chipsets, the dominant coax and phone wire standard for IPTV installations and the company remains strongly committed to the HomePNA standard.
New global markets will be opened up by the addition of power line technology to CopperGate’s HomePNA coax and phone line technology.
The company will be better prepared for the new ITU home networking standard, G.hn.
G.hn is the working group name for the next generation global home networking standard being created within the ITU-T.
With G.hn, coax, phone wires and power lines will all be supported by a single standard.
There are currently 25 active global members of G.hn including AT&T, Verizon, France Telecom, Intel and TI. The G.hn foundation specification is expected by the end of 2008.
It is anticipated that CopperGate’s acquisition of power line technology will help accelerate delivery of the 3-wire capable G.hn standard that carriers require.
Founded in 2000, CopperGate is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel with offices in the United States, Taiwan, Korea, China and Japan.
As a leader in multi-wire home networking, the company offers both HomePNA and HomePlug technology for use in individual homes and multi-dwelling and multi-tenant units worldwide.
