"We are extremely excited about our latest, fastest, and smartest
powerline adapter product for the demanding entertainment networking market,"
said Paul Stephenson, managing director with Solwise. "The Gigle Networks
technology enables our adapter to deliver streaming video experiences,
allow for gaming and distribute all types of rich multi-media content
over the existing electrical mains circuit to network devices anywhere in the
home, without requiring any extra wiring, cabling or a complex installation. It
combines performance with simplicity to deliver a truly superior consumer
entertainment experience."

"Solwise's new PL-1000M Mediaxtream/HomePlug AV Ethernet adapter offers
an ideal example of the tremendous benefits of powerline technology for
consumer entertainment networking," said Rick Walker, director EU sales with
Gigle Networks. "We have worked closely with Solwise to deliver a
home-networking solution that will give Solwise customers a superior
entertainment experience, along with hassle-free installation."

Gigle Networks' GGL541 chipset uses the company's patented Mediaxtream
technology to deliver wireline Gigabit-class performance with minimum
latency, while maintaining full interoperability with other certified
compliant 200Mbps HomePlug AV products and forthcoming IEEE 1901 products.
The fully integrated GGL541 device includes dual physical-layer (PHY)
interfaces, media access control (MAC) and Smart Mesh home/Quality-of-Service
(QoS)/Class-of-Service (CoS) switching capabilities. Smart Mesh capabilities
coordinate traffic management for optimum performance and coverage in
difficult signal environments or over long networking connections in the
home.

Gigle Networks' GGL541 chipset also meets European 2011 Code of Conduct
requirements for adapters and QoS, which is essential for video distribution
around the home. Additionally, all Gigle Networks devices support Gigle
Networks' Xtendnet(TM) intelligent switching technology, which amplifies and
re-times signals on the powerline for improved network coverage. They also
meet the active and standby power requirements for adapters of the Energy
using Products Directive (EuP) Lot 6.
