The CopperStream™ chipset family offers a complete solution for a variety of home networking and MDU/MTU access applications. Based on the ITU G.9954 and the HomePNA V3.1 standards, to which CopperGate is a leading contributor, CopperStream™ chipsets implement an integrated MAC and PHY engine and provide a scalable solution from standalone network adapters to feature-rich network controllers. Bundled with a complete software package, the chipsets allow implementation of network nodes with or without an external micro-controller.

In order to significantly shorten time-to-market for its customers and to demonstrate the capabilities of its products, CopperGate provides a complete development kit for the most common applications. The development kit comprises four main elements:

• Data Sheets and Application Notes
• Performance Evaluation Boards
• Reference Design Database
• Software Development Kit (SDK)
