CopperGate Communications has just announced its support of G.hn.
In its press release, the company’s CEO, Gabi Helevitz reiterated its commitment to the G.hn working group from the beginning. CopperGate has invested nearly a decade in being a pioneer in home networking, primarily being an early advocate of HomePNA.
It’s interesting to watch CopperGate’s evolution as it has not only been a major player in the HomePNA standard, but now expanding its reach when it acquired the HomePlug AV business from Conexant Systems, Inc. [NASDAQ - CNXT] in May. This makes CopperGate the first semiconductor company with home networking technologies supporting all three wire types – coax, phone and power lines.
To date, the company’s biggest design win has been with AT&T. Earlier this month, the world’s largest telco announced that it had reached a major milestone by having its 1,000,000th living unit on U-verse, the company’s IPTV and triple play service offering. CopperGate’s chipsets are found in each set top box and residential gateway installed in an AT&T’s customers’ home.
