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.
