Its consumer friendly design combined with high data rate performances, optimized Quality of Service (QoS) and enhanced confidentiality (encryption) make the ILV211 the ideal product for Voice-Data-Image (VDI) applications.
Also, the hardware platform integrated in the ILV211 will be customized and integrated in ILV250 & ILV260, the next Ilevo products to be released in coming months (with routing and wireless functions).
The UPA (Universal Powerline Association), leading body that develops and implements specifications and compliance testing for interoperable powerline equipment has just announced the most complete suite of 200 Mbps powerline networking products.
According to Eric Morel, Chairman of UPA and CEO of Ilevo, "the use of UPA qualified products by leading IPTV operators, utilities, networking companies, system integrators ... around the world coupled with the large range of interoperable UPA products available to consumer signify the begining of critical mass for powerline communications".
Driving the demand for the latest 200 Mbps UPA products is video connectivity at home. Not surprising then that UPA compliant products are used in almost all commercial rollouts of IPTV over powerlines. On top of quality of services, UPA technology allows to share multimedia content througout the home, by connecting televisions, PCs, game consoles, media servers, Set-top-boxes & other IP-enabled devices.
Ilevo's ILV701 and ILV715 are part of this suite of UPA qualified products, embedding the UPA 200Mpbs technology and allowing coexistence with other UPA products.
