MaxLinear, announced plans to introduce a new range of solutions based on the international G.hn standard for the automotive, industrial, security and utility markets, further expanding the total addressable market (TAM) for G.hn technology. Each of these vertical market solutions will utilize MaxLinear G.hn semiconductors combined with MaxLinear-developed software. At CES, MaxLinear will demonstrate gigabit connectivity over a standard automotive wiring harness utilizing G.hn technology – the first of these applications to be available. G.hn is an open networking standard published by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that enables gigabit data transmission over multiple physical media, including power lines, twisted pair, coaxial cable and visible light. The G.hn standard was originally developed with a focus on powerline-based home-networking applications, an inherently harsh interference environment. In recent years, MaxLinear, in collaboration with its customers, has expanded use cases for its G.hn products pushing the boundaries of the technology by improving robustness to interference, expanding coverage distance and reducing total power consumption.
