Intellon Corporation Named the Fastest Growing Wired Communications Semiconductor Company in 2008

Intellon Corporation (Nasdaq: ITLN), a leading provider of HomePlug®-compatible integrated circuits (ICs) for home networking, networked entertainment, Ethernet-over-Coax (EoC) and smart grid applications, is named the fastest growing company among the top-25 suppliers of wired-communications chips according to The Linley Group report published on April 29, 2009.

Intellon is the global sales leader in producing HomePlug-compatible powerline communications ICs, with over 28 million shipped to date. Intellon’s HomePlug-based ICs are used by over 45 service providers in Asia, Europe and the Americas for a variety of applications including Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), movies on demand and Internet and Wi-Fi extension. They are also used in consumer products from leading manufacturers and available at major retailers.

Intellon’s most advanced IC is the INT6400, which has the lowest power consumption of any 200 Mbps PHY-rate HomePlug AV-class IC, meets European 2011 Code of Conduct requirements for adapters and delivers higher TCP throughput and more customer programmability options (such as programmable LEDs, push buttons and diagnostics), as well as improved Quality of Service (QoS), which is important for distribution of video around the home.

“Video, gaming and other content coming into the home through new Internet-based services are driving the need for fast in-home distribution that delivers entertainment-grade performance and is easy to install without new wiring,” said Rick Furtney, president and COO of Intellon Corporation. “Intellon’s HomePlug-based powerline technology is a reliable, carrier-proven and globally-deployed powerline solution that brings the advantages of wired broadband connections throughout a home.”

“Sales of home-networking chips grew robustly in 2008 despite overall industry revenue from wired-communications semiconductors being nearly unchanged compared with 2007,” said Joseph Byrne, senior analyst with The Linley Group. “One of the larger suppliers of home-networking technology, powerline specialist Intellon increased its product revenue 44% in 2008 and grew to rank among the top 25 suppliers of communications ASSPs.”
