Millinet selects Intellon solutions for in-home distribution of KT’s MegaTV service

April 16, 2008 – Korean firm Millinet, a developer of home networking solutions, has selected HomePlug-compatible integrated circuits (ICs) from US firm Intellon to enable in-home distribution of Korean telco KT’s “MegaTV” IPTV service.

Millinet chose Intellon’s INT5500 and INT6300 ICs for its Mega Bridge MMB-100/200 adaptors, supplied when customers subscribe to MegaTV and which enable customers to view content on TVs plugged into any convenient phone jack.  Millinet selected both the Intellon HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo (85 Mbps PHY-rate) and the Intellon HomePlug AV (200 Mbps PHY-rate) ICs for their solutions.

“It was important to our customer KT that this solution be very economical to install and be robust and reliable to curtail service calls to consumer homes,” said Kyongyong Park, CTO of Millinet.  “Our research and field trials clearly demonstrated that Intellon’s technology met these important demands, allowing us to present a solution to KT that was approved for rollout to their customer base.”
