CG2210 Chipset

HomePlug® Modem for Home AV Networks

CG2210 Chipset

HomePlug® Modem for Home AV Networks

Based on the HomePlug® AV v1.1 specification, the fourth-generation CG2210 Chipset is the ideal solution for home AV networking - video, audio, data, and voice - over existing AC power lines.

Featuring faster operation over surge protectors, low latency, low power, and guaranteed QoS, the CG2210 Chipset provides efficient utilization of network resources for multiple simultaneous streams of real-time high-definition video, audio, voice, and data in the presence of best effort data transfers.

The CG2210 Chipset is comprised of two devices

  • Digital MAC/PHY IC (CG2211)
  • Analog Front-End IC (CG2212)

and offers a variety of interface options which make this chipset an ideal home AV networking solution.

Features & Benefits

Benefits

  • Every in-home AC power outlet can be a home network connection
  • Quality of Service (QoS) configuration allows data stream prioritization for specific applications
  • Device QoS balances resource usage when services contend for the same resources within a device
  • Decreased energy costs through reduction of power consumption when system is inactive
  • Remote monitoring and management tools reduce maintenance costs
  • LED indicators display system status and enable simple installation
  • Optimized software API, enabling quick customization and product differentiation
  • Secure home communications at the touch of a button
  • ClearPath™ technology enables usage of powerline as a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel, thus extending coverage, improving the network’s immunity to noise and delivering a higher throughput
