Gigle Networks to Introduce Intelligent WiFi & Powerline Switching, Its Next Generation Green Home-Networking Platform Plus Other Performance Enhancements at CES 2010

Next-Generation Platform Simplifies Home Networking and Improves Reliability and Coverage while Reducing Power Consumption

REDWOOD CITY, California, BARCELONA, Spain and EDINBURGH, Scotland, December 17 - Gigle Networks (giglenetworks.com/), a leading developer of
intelligent multi-PHY switching solutions for both wired and wireless
entertainment-grade home networking, today announced that it will preview
multi-stream HD video distribution over the world's first intelligently
managed WiFi and Powerline communications network topology at its suite at
CES 2010. In addition, the company will showcase new Green Networking
technology that optimizes network power consumption without the need for
consumer intervention, and will also show how the bonding of HomePlug AV(R)
and mediaxtream(TM) channels across multiple wires optimizes network
coverage and reliability.

"For the first time WiFi and Powerline have been transparently combined
to extend traditional home-networking coverage and performance beyond what
either networking technology can achieve by itself, while providing full
fault tolerance and improving overall noise immunity," said Juan Carlos
Riveiro, chief executive officer of Gigle Networks. "This makes for a
simpler, more universal and consumer-friendly solution for IPTV, Over-The-Top
video distribution and entertainment networking. Also, we have added advanced
power management and Green Networking support to our overall product
portfolio, enabling highly energy-efficient networking functionality to be
added to consumer electronics and service provider platforms. This
automatically reduces power usage based on network loads, rather than
requiring the consumer to take any action to enable power savings."

Gigle Networks' intelligent multi-PHY switching solutions integrate an
intelligent switching agent known as Xtendnet(TM), which continually monitors
the performance of every physical link in the network. If a link becomes
impaired and cannot provide the required Quality of Service (QoS), alone,
then Xtendnet(TM) can aggregate multiple physical links to form a virtual
point-to-point connection.

Gigle Networks' "Green Networking" low-power technology is the only
multi-PHY network power-saving scheme that does not require user
intervention, and exceeds emerging European requirements for standby power
usage.

Gigle Networks will be hosting a suite at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel
(Suite 560) and presenting its products and technology at the HomePlug
Powerline Alliance TechZone at Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, Booth
#20301.
