Home data networks are quickly becoming ubiquitous, driven by the desire to share broadband access between multiple computers in the home. Over the next few years, data networks will evolve into true home multimedia networks that allow consumers to access, manage, and share digital content such as high definition video between HDTV sets, DVRs, game consoles, home gateways, PCs, and home media servers. The benefits to the consumer are substantial.

To truly realize the tremendous potential a home network can provide, it must set-up and configure itself and deliver uncompromising throughput performance everywhere in the home so that consumers have the same high quality, no jitter, no latency experience whether their content is coming from the STB attached to their TV or the DVR on the other side of their house.

Consumers need to be able to set up their home network without drilling holes and pulling new wiring or configuring complicated wireless security protocols. In other words, the home network must be invisible to the consumer. Connectivity must evolve from being a separate function to being built into products as an integrated feature. Connected devices must conform to universal standards so that consumers don’t need to think about interoperability when purchasing entertainment and computer equipment from different vendors.

Gigle’s system-on-chip integrated circuits combine three complimentary technology elements to deliver the sustained high bandwidth, quality of service, ease of use, flexibility of installation, and management capabilities required by the most demanding home multimedia networks.
