HomePlug AV is a 200-Mbps-class PLC technology, versus 85 Mbps for HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo and 14 Mbps for HP 1.0. HomePlug AV is designed to operate in a class of its own, with a stronger feature set for noise mitigation, and to serve the needs of IPTV [Internet Protocol television], VOD [video on demand], and streaming HD. Though it is possible to build a backward-interoperable device, the complexity would be prohibitively expensive to users. Such a device would have to include the ability to switch between FEC techniques and many other features, which places cost at an unworkable level. USers need optimized (performance, power, and cost) products. Often, much more than they want backward compatibility, they want optimization for targeted applications. With the HomePlug AV platform, Intellon sees a clear path to forward compatibility for future platforms, such as our 400-Mbps extension and beyond.
