텔아비브--(뉴스와이어)--Sigma Designs, Inc.(NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading provider of system-on-chip (SoC) solutions used to deliver entertainment and control throughout the home announced the CopperGate CG3310M, the first complete Ethernet over Coax (EoC) solution on a single chip. Based upon an integrated mixed signal design, the CG3310M reduces the footprint on the PCB and minimizes the number of external components needed to deliver affordable broadband access over existing coax infrastructure. The new chip makes integration into end user devices such as set top boxes and networked consumer appliances much cheaper -- opening up a new opportunity for OEMs to deliver even lower priced, integrated solutions for multiple service offerings over EoC.

The CG3310M uses a new flexible band selection process for improved performance, increased robustness and better coexistence with legacy services such as CATV and DOCSIS. Based on Sigma's Fast EoC(TM) technology, the new chip can be part of a very high performance solution that delivers solid 160 Mbit/s of total system throughput to 126 simultaneous users. The new chip is also very energy efficient, requiring only 1.25 watts of power.

Based upon the HomePNA/ITU G.9954 standard, the CopperGate CG3310M is designed to meet the highly price sensitive markets of China, India, Brazil and in other emerging markets. The CG3310M will help operators deliver high performance HomePNA EoC based broadband services at a much lower deployed cost per subscriber than with any other competing technology.

Executive Quotes:

GABI HILEVITZ, Vice President and General Manager, Home Connectivity Business Unit, Sigma Designs

“The CG3310M changes the game in EoC solutions. It delivers breakthrough price performance for EoC. Plus, as a leading media processor company, Sigma can enable set top box and networked media device OEMs to deliver a new level of affordability and performance for operators.”

Tang, Xiao-Qiu, CEO, Ultra-vista Technologies, Inc.

“The CG3310M is a technical achievement. It delivers greater communications efficiency and robustness in an environmentally friendly and compact format. Our MSOs will appreciate the exceptional performance and value they will receive as a result of this new offering.”

Jose Joseph, VP Business Development, Tata Sky

“The new CG3310M will save Tata millions as we can more rapidly and more affordably roll out HomePNA-enabled bundled satellite and broadband services all across India. It is no wonder HomePNA is the standard for EoC solutions.”

Highlights/Key Facts:

- Sigma's CopperGate is a leading EoC chipset provider with over 30 MDU-based deployments in the field today.
