Gigle Semiconductor Changes Name to Gigle Networks


REDWOOD CITY, Calif., BARCELONA and EDINBURGH, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


          New Name Reflects Home-Networking Innovator's Expanded Focus

           Beyond Silicon to Include Advanced Network Capabilities


    Gigle Semiconductor, the leading developer of intelligent multi-PHY

switching devices for both wired and wireless entertainment grade home

networking, today announces that it has changed its name to Gigle Networks

(http://giglenetworks.com/). The new name is being adopted to better reflect

the company's expanding core competencies and system-level solutions.




    "A true entertainment-grade home network requires technology that can

provide the performance and coverage necessary to deliver multiple HD streams

everywhere in the home. But to succeed with consumers, this network also must

be so simple to install, operate and maintain that it is completely

transparent to the user," said Juan Carlos Riviero, chief executive officer

of Gigle Networks. "Our new corporate name reflects our commitment to

providing the complete system solutions that are necessary to create this

invisible network within the home, including silicon, firmware, software and

support tools, across all existing wired media plus wireless connections."


    Gigle Networks' fully integrated, intelligent multi-PHY switches

seamlessly extend wired and wireless Ethernet connections to form up to a

1Gbps entertainment-grade network everywhere in the home. These networks are

created using the existing wiring, including powerline, phoneline and/or

coaxial cable, as well as wireless connections. Gigle Networks' solutions

deliver the best possible coverage and performance by using an on-chip

switching agent that coordinates all the Gigle Networks' enabled devices in

the network to determine optimal paths and whether or not paths need to be

aggregated to increase bandwidth, or if traffic should be repeated to

increase coverage as determined by Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

This self-forming mesh network can operate over WiFi, wired Ethernet,

powerline, phoneline, and coaxial cable. It can also provide advanced network

features such as fault tolerance. For example, if the wireless Ethernet

connection fails, the network can automatically switch traffic to another

connection using a high-speed loop-avoidance algorithm optimized for the

demands of video.


    With the Gigle Networks approach, all network traffic is managed

intelligently in a continuous process that is completely transparent to the

user. Installing network nodes is as simple as plugging them into the power

outlets. The network then self-configures and can generate secure passwords

and encrypted traffic with just the push of a button. This network requires

no new wires, no configuration software, no knowledge of networking

technology to install or manage it and no user manual. It combines the

performance, robustness and reliability that service providers require, along

with the simplicity that consumers demand.
