Leads in installations of IPTV over coax and phone lines
“Clearly, HomePNA technology has achieved tremendous traction in the market – especially around IPTV,” said Gabi Hilevitz, Chief Executive Officer of CopperGate. “We are proud that our blazing fast technology is delivering such high fidelity HD video to so many more customers around the world.”
HomePNA is the only ITU-T home networking standard over coax and phone lines and it delivers up to 320 Mbit/s of transmission – more than any other home networking technology. HomePNA is perfect for coax installations. There are now more than 25 certified products supporting HomePNA, more than any other coax networking technology. The company delivers the highest Quality of Service (QoS) over coax which is why CopperGate’s HomePNA chips are embedded in millions of devices deployed in the field and have connected over 15,000 miles of coax to date.
"HomePNA delivers on its promise. It's fast, reliable, practical and cost-effective," said Joyce Putscher, Principal Analyst, at market research firm In-Stat. "In addition, HomePNA enables service providers to easily integrate over-the-top IPTV applications and triple-play services that drive customer retention and increase service provider ARPUs. As a leading supplier of this technology, it's no surprise CopperGate is doing so well."

Leads way towards next home networking standard, G.hn
“Adding power line technology to our HomePNA coax and phone line technology opens up many new markets globally and better prepares the company for the exciting new ITU home networking standard, G.hn,” said Gabi Hilevitz, Chief Executive Officer of CopperGate. “We are not limited to a single wire, a single technology standard or a single way of thinking. Now, service providers globally will receive greater choice, flexibility, capability and value from one leader– CopperGate.”
“It’s very important that power line technology is now being included in international standards bodies like the ITU and IEEE, helping to promote a common power line networking approach worldwide,” said Jaime Fink, Vice President of Technology and Strategy, 2Wire, Inc. “CopperGate's acquisition of power line technology should help accelerate delivery of the 3-wire capable G.hn standard that carriers want.”
“For a number of years, it has been In-Stat's position that service operators desire to use multiple existing-wire mediums to offer them flexibility and cost-effectiveness for video distribution deployments. The capability to use two mediums (a pair) is an advantage compared to one medium, and three mediums ‘beats a pair,’" observed Joyce Putscher, Principal Analyst at market research firm In-Stat.
“We at iSuppli are very bullish on G.hn. It makes a lot of sense for the market and with the Conexant acquisition, CopperGate appears to now have all the pieces necessary to become an early leader with compliant products in the market,” added Steve Rago, Principal Analyst at the market analyst firm iSuppli. “It’s pretty significant news.”

Hangzhou, China and Tel Aviv, Israel – October 31, 2007 – Today at the International CATV Technology Conference (ICTC 2007) CopperGate Communications, a leading provider of home networking technology for triple play IPTV and MDU access over existing wiring, announced the availability of its latest reference design aimed at Chinese cable service provider requirements for high quality, low cost provisioning of triple play IP video, data and voice services over existing cable connections to apartments in MDUs. The new CG3110MLHRD Ethernet over Coax (EoC) design, implemented in a low cost, small form factor, easy to install module, creates new revenue opportunities for cable service providers without the need to make significant investments in upgrading their infrastructure.
“We are pleased to expand our business into the rapidly growing Chinese market,” stated Rami Kopelman, CopperGate Vice President of Business Development. “Our new reference design is specifically engineered for China’s OEM equipment vendors who need to quickly and economically provide an Ethernet-over-Coax solution for deployment by cable service providers.”
The new solution, available today, is based on the widely deployed HomePNA 3.1 (ITU G.9954) industry standard and delivers enhanced physical layer transmission for robust operation over the challenging noisy infrastructure typically found in older apartment buildings. The solution enables the simultaneous streaming of multiple bandwidth intensive services such as high-Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) video, Video on Demand (VoD) and IPTV to multiple apartments through multicasting and IGMP filtering. It also features, among others, high data rates, guaranteed “best of breed” QoS, privacy between clients, remote configuration of clients according to their Service Level Agreements, user admission control, and remote management and diagnostics.
CopperGate will conduct a live demo of this new solution during ICTC 2007 in booth number 103-3 where CopperGate will also be hosting several Asian communication equipment vendors that are showcasing their broadband access solutions using CopperGate’s HomePNA 3.1 (ITU G.9954) based access chipset.
