  • CES 2017: Marvell shows Wave 2 powerline technology used in gigabit homenetworks

    Marvell showcases Wave 2 powerline technology, which both ARRIS and CIG have recently certified to achieve the HomeGrid Forum logo on their products.  Wave 2 powerline technology provides a higher performance backbone network for whole home coverage for the ultra-peak broadband experience.

    HomeGrid Forum and its Accredited Test House (ATH), Allion Labs, recently announced they have successfully certified 19 Gigabit-capable products to date, with accellerated growth expected this year as gigabit broadband and 4K TV become more prominent.

    With 4K OTT adoption expected to rise to 189 million global users by 2021, consumers are placing ever-growing demands on network throughput. G.hn is the number one technology to fulfil the needs for an in-home ultra-broadband experience, by extending Wi-Fi coverage and performance throughout the home and creating a true hybrid network over any of the available mediums.

    Marvell will be exhibiting it's latest 88LX5152 chip the show, the broadband distribution over the in home electrical grid provides the backbone for the latest WiFi standards. The chip is the first product to implement the full ITU-T G.hn specification with MIMO support and up to 80 MHz. This product delivers a two to three times faster performance than legacy powerline products, and is designed to increase the range and throughput of next-generation 802.11ac or 802.11ad Wi-Fi extenders and other consumer networking products. By mixing and matching wireless and wireline networking to fit individual consumers' needs through G.hn Wave-2 Powerline, OTT services can be delivered at faster speeds that won't create a bandwidth block or compromise the quality of experience for the consumer.

    Marvell will be demonstrating G.hn solutions at the Marvell Suite, Venetian Meeting Rooms, Level 3, Murano 3304.
