SPiDCOM Introduces SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design
PARIS, February 16, 2010--
- CeBIT 2010, Hannover - March 2nd- 6th, Hall 13, Stand D20
- Based on the Award-Winning SPC300 "No-Limits" HomePlug AV SoC,
the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design Offers the Best Combination of
Performance, Cost and Flexibility in the Powerline Communication Industry
SPiDCOM Technologies, the unique provider of "no-limits"
powerline communication System-on-Chips (SoC), announces the introduction of
the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design.
The reference design is a powerline to Ethernet bridge
enabling whole-house HD quality entertainment over the home electrical wires,
with an integrated noise filter to optimize performance and an integrated
socket that leaves the electrical outlet available to plug any other
appliance. Easy, the set-up of the network is done simply by pushing a
button.
The reference design is based on the SPC300 "no-limits"
HomePlug AV SoC, which received a CES 2010 Innovation Award (Las Vegas, USA,
January 2010). This open platform embeds an ARM9 processor dedicated to
added-value customer applications. SPiDCOM provides the Linux firmware and
the development tools, enabling complete end-product differentiation. No
extra processor is needed on SPR300-AV, resulting in substantial BoM savings
(up to 30%).
The SPR300-AV has a modular approach for a quick integration
by product manufacturers. The digital part, including the SPC300 SoC, fits
into a small 30 X 65 mm module, which then plugs into the power supply mother
board. SPiDCOM provides all the hardware, software and manufacturing
documentation required to begin production of a SPR300-AV bridge.
The SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design will be presented
on SPiDCOM stand (Hall 13, D20, HomePlug Community Pavilion) during CeBIT
2010.
About SPiDCOM Technologies:
SPiDCOM Technologies is a fabless semiconductor company.
We provide open System-on-Chips and Linux based software bundles for
"no-limits" developments enabling complete OEM/ODM product differentiation
(hardware, software, system).
Thanks to its unique mix of communication technologies, networking and
system expertise, SPiDCOM Powerline Communication solutions can convert any
wire into a broadband communications network. Applications include HomePlug
AV Home Networking, EoC (Ethernet over Coax), Access BPL, Smart Grid and
Smart Energy.
SPiDCOM actively participates to the standardization efforts inside the
major international regulatory and standards bodies, among them IEEE P1901
and HomePlug Powerline Alliance. IEEE 1901 draft standard is based on
HomePlug AV specification.
SPiDCOM, much more than a silicon provider, your "no-limits" solution
partner.
