ORLANDO, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Intellon Corporation (Nasdaq:ITLN), a leading provider of HomePlug-compatible
integrated circuits (ICs) for home networking, networked entertainment,
Ethernet-over-Coax (EoC) and smart grid applications, announced that it has now
shipped over 30 million powerline communications integrated circuits (ICs) based
on the HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug AV standards. Intellon leads the powerline
communications industry in shipments of HomePlug-based powerline ICs. 

Intellon designs and markets these advanced ICs, which allow end users to turn
home or office electrical wiring into a high-speed network for the distribution
of high definition and standard definition television (HDTV, SDTV), Internet
protocol TV (IPTV), over-the-top (OTT) video, high-bandwidth Internet sharing
and file sharing. Products based on Intellon`s ICs can be used to connect a wide
variety of products - including home gateways and routers, personal computers,
set-top boxes, digital media adapters, flat-screen TVs, game consoles, and
security cameras - without the need to install new wires. 

Intellon`s ICs are used across the globe by over 45 cable, telephone and
satellite service providers such as AT&T, Canal+, Chunghwa Telecom, DirecTV,
Dish Network, France Telecom, Free (Iliad Group), PCCW, SFR/neuf, SingTel,
Swisscom, Telecom Italia, and Telenet. Major OEMs manufacturing consumer
electronics products based on the company`s ICs include Actiontec, Asoka,
Aztech, Belkin, devolo AG, H3C, LEA, Linksys, Logitech, Monster, Netgear, Sharp,
Siemens, Sling Media, Sumitomo Electric and ZyXEL. 

"Video, gaming and other content coming into the home through new Internet-based
services are driving the need for fast in-home distribution that delivers
entertainment-grade performance and is easy to install without new wiring," said
Rick Furtney, president and COO of Intellon Corporation. "Intellon`s
HomePlug-based ICs provide a reliable, carrier-proven and globally-deployed
powerline solution that brings the advantages of wired broadband connections
throughout a home." 

The INT6400 is Intellon`s most advanced IC. It has the lowest power consumption
of any 200 Mbps PHY-rate HomePlug AV-class IC, supports European 2011 Code of
Conduct requirements for adapters as well as embedded designs and delivers
higher TCP throughput and more customer programmability options (such as
programmable LEDs, push buttons and diagnostics), as well as improved Quality of
Service (QoS).
