DS2-based Powerline Communication (PLC) systems from Corinex enable off-the-shelf home networking option for Greek Operator OTE's IPTV subscribers

Valencia, 22 March, 2010 - DS2, a leading technology innovator and global supplier of high-speed powerline silicon today announced that OTE ,  the largest Service Provider in Greece, has chosen the HomeNet HD200Mbps system from Corinex based on DS2's 200Mbps Aitana++ integrated circuit (IC) as the off-the shelf home networking option for customers of its “Conn-x TV” IPTV service.    

conn-x TV , launched by OTE in February 2009, is now available in over 60 cities throughout .  The service offers more than 40 thematic Greek and international television channels, VoD, as well as Time Shifted TV and Personal Video Recording options.  A pair of HomeNet HD200Mbps from Corinex Communications powered by DS2's Aitana++ powerline ICs allow conn-x TV subscribers to create a high-speed in-home network without the need for new cabling. Subscribers just connect the Corinex adapters to any electrical outlets to extend the conn-x TV signal to any television at home.  The DS2-based powerline adapters offered specifically to deliver IPTV service to any location in the house that is not close to OTE’s conn-x router.  

 
DS2's Aitana ++ IC   was designed for the demanding nature of service provider IPTV applications. It offers a maximum PHY data transfer rate of 200Mbps, guaranteed quality of service, and the ability to avoid noise on the powerline. Powered by DS2´s SPIRIT firmware, Aitana provides advanced capabilities, such as TR069-compliant remote management, enabling Service Providers to remotely manage and troubleshoot devices in the subscriber's home network. The programmable Quality of Service (QoS) feature of the DS2 Aitana++ ensures that voice and video services get higher priority than data services for maximum and error-free performance.

DS2 Powerline Communications technology is depended on and deployed by Service Providers worldwide for in-home distribution of triple play services.
