MaxLinear, Inc. announced a new family of G.hn home-networking products based on MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 powerline technology. Zinwell’s new G.hn product family includes several devices that enable consumers and service providers to build gigabit-class Wi-Fi networks with whole-home coverage: PWS-9121 (base model) and PWS-9131 (pass-through model) are 802.11ac 2x2 dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi extenders that leverage MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 technology as a gigabit-class powerline backhaul. Both devices include a Gigabit Ethernet port and an easy-to-use push-button configuration. They are available in EU and US plug versions. PLS-9111 (base model) and PLS-9141 (pass-through model) are Gigabit Ethernet adapters with embedded MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 powerline connectivity. Both devices are available in EU and US plug versions. By leveraging MaxLinear’s G.hn powerline technology, Zinwell can offer a solution that delivers a robust whole-home Wi-Fi experience while avoiding the problems often found in other Wi-Fi mesh solutions (wireless signals blocked by walls, interference from neighbor wireless networks, unpredictable latency). Because G.hn powerline technology is not affected by walls or congested wireless spectrum, consumers experience a high-performance Wi-Fi service that meets the requirements of 4K and 8K IP video, online multi-player gaming and cloud-based file sharing. Service providers see a reduction in truck rolls and customer complaints, while simultaneously increasing their remote diagnostic and proactive management capabilities. All Zinwell home-networking products based on MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 technology are fully compliant with the latest version of the ITU-T G.hn standard, and are certified according to FCC, UL and EN50561. All products support IPv6, remote firmware upgrades, 8-level QoS, IGMP snooping for multicast IPTV, web-based management, AES-128 encryption and VLANs. A carrier-grade version which includes TR-069 remote management is also available.
