Intellon and Motive to Improve Homeplug Networks

Intellon Corporation, the leading provider of HomePlug-compliant integrated circuits (ICs) for home networking, networked entertainment and connected powerline applications, announced today that its HomePlug ICs now integrate with broadband management solutions from Motive, Inc. Motive's software combines provider-based network management tools and 'plug and play' user interfaces to enable simple, reliable IPTV and home networking roll-outs.

"As HomePlug continues to grow as the backbone for home networking services, integration between Intellon and Motive was an obvious choice," says Shawn Omstead, director of video consumer services development at Bell Canada. "The ubiquity and performance of a HomePlug solution coupled with the automated management capabilities of Motive's software will give service providers insight into the home network that they have not had in the past."

The combination of Intellon's HomePlug-compliant solutions and Motive's broadband management solutions offers important advantages for service providers and their customers.

Through integration with Motive software, HomePlug ICs enable self-installation of IPTV and home networking services over existing home powerlines. In addition, service providers and their customers can now easily collect diagnostic information in order to better manage their home networks, resulting in reduced service provider costs and increased customer satisfaction.
