SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), a worldwide leader in providing
complete silicon solutions from mobile communications to storage,
Internet of Things (IoT), cloud infrastructure, digital
entertainment, in-home content delivery and Kinoma® software
enabling the "Smart Life and Smart Lifestyle" - today announced
that Jazztel, a global telecommunications operator offering
broadband solutions for voice and data traffic, internet and mobile
telephony to the residential and corporate markets in Spain, will install a Marvell powered G.hn
networking solution from Comtrend, a leading global provider of
advanced networking solutions, to accelerate the deployment of
their Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) network. Comtrend's latest solution
integrates Marvell's 88LX3142 G.hn digital baseband processor and
88LX2718 G.hn analog front end. Since announcing its first product
with Marvell silicon back in 2012, Comtrend has developed a great
expertise with G.hn technology and its use cases which contributed
to its nomination as Bronze Winner in the prestigious Best in Biz
Awards late 2014 for its PowerGrid series, a product line designed
to deliver seamless video streaming in all topologies and
minimizing interference in high-density environments. Marvell's
award-winning G.hn chipset was selected again for its ITU-T
standards-compliant and HomeGrid Forum-certified technology.
"Marvell is excited to continue the collaboration with Comtrend
and enable faster market adoption of G.hn technology for a wide
range of applications," said Philip Poulidis, Vice President
and General Manager, Wireless and Internet of Things Business Units
at Marvell. "Together, our complete solution delivers best-in-class
performance throughout users' connected homes. We appreciate our
long lasting partnership with Comtrend and look forward to
developing innovative G.hn technology to enable the "Smart Life and
Smart Lifestyle."
"Our decision to deploy Comtrend's Marvell-powered
PowerGrid-9070 G.hn adapters is a strategic one that helps bridge
the connection between the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and the
home gateway in our users' homes, accelerating high-speed FTTH
broadband network deployment," said Antonio
Montero, Network Director of Jazztel. "Jazztel has
the second largest FTTH network in Spain, with more than 3.7M FTTH homes
installed and we are targeting 5M by end of 2015. The ease of
installation and the superiority of performance offered by
Comtrend's G.hn adapters are important factors for our selection of
the technology."
"After working with Marvell for many years, Comtrend has
developed a strong confidence in Marvell's G.hn solutions and we
have launched a complete portfolio of products powered by Marvell
G.hn silicon, from Coax Ethernet adapters to Phoneline Ethernet
bridges, from PoE adapters with MIMO to Powerline Wi-Fi extenders,
all eliminating the need for extra wiring," said John Hsieh
Marketing Director of Comtrend. "We are well prepared to address
any service provider's requirements, from wireline to wireless and
hybrid networking, and we are proud to be selected by Jazztel to be
part of their FTTH deployment in Spain."
The Comtrend PowerGrid 9070, ITU-T G.hn standards compliant
Powerline Ethernet Adapter with EU pass-through socket and G.hn
Multiple Input/Multiple output (MIMO), provides the best quality
data transmission for a truly high-speed connected home experience.
It allows Jazztel's subscribers to extend a local area network via
existing power lines, eliminating the need for extra wiring between
the ONT and the home gateway. Installation is quick and easy as the
PowerGrid 9070 comes with plug-and-play technology. The PowerGrid
9070 is pre-configured allowing easy installation and it features
secure end-to-end encryption algorithms for safeguarding the
network integrity. It also supports advanced energy-saving features
based on Ethernet link activity, with automatic standby mode. For
