The Hercules ePlug line enables users to connect computers, modems or
Internet boxes, game consoles, set-top boxes and other broadband
communications devices using their home's electric power cables as a
communications network, and to share an Internet connection and broadband TV
throughout their home.

"ePlug products give consumers a simple way to bring the Internet to any
room in the home without worrying about a weak Wi-Fi signal or having to
install complicated, expensive cabling wires," said Vincent Quere, product
development Manager with Hercules. "After intensive tests, we chose the
GGL301 chipset to create exciting new products that take advantage of Gigle
Networks' unique Xtendnet technology, which amplifies and re-times signals on
the powerline to give our ePlug line superior network coverage."

"We are extremely pleased to be collaborating with Hercules on these new
members of their family of ePlug powerline communications adapters," said
Rick Walker, director, EU sales with Gigle Networks. "The proven ePlug line
has extended Hercules's solid reputation in the powerline communications
market, and now the GGL301 device takes ePlug products to a new level of
power-efficient performance for accessing the Internet, gaming online,
watching broadband TV and streaming HD movies anywhere in the house."

The Hercules ePlug line leverages Gigle Networks' GGL301 solutions to
optimize power efficiency, and includes a sub-1 watt standby mode as well as
an Idle Mode for additional power savings. When network traffic is low, the
GGL301 automatically reduces its power consumption by approximately 50
percent while remaining fully active and visible on the network. All
GGL301-based products are fully compliant with the European framework
directive that sets eco-design requirements for energy-using products (EuP).

Hercules' ePlug powerline communications adapters simply plug into any
electrical outlet and use the home's existing electrical wiring to provide
Internet access throughout the home. Each ePlug pack features its own
password and provides a pre-secured network, as well as a dedicated
user-friendly web interface to www.Hercules.com where advanced users
can monitor their Powerline Communications Network, check transfer speeds and
reset passwords. The Hercules ePlug range is available as single units or
dual packs: ePlug 200C Duo and Solo, and ePlug 200 Multi Duo and Solo
(pass-through versions).

Gigle Networks' fully-integrated, low-cost single-chip GGL301 devices are
certified HomePlug AV compliant by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, and are
the first to support the IEEE 1901 Inter System coexistence Protocol (ISP)
global standard for powerline communications in multimedia home networking,
video and audio distribution and smart grid/smart energy. Gigle Networks'
products are the only powerline networking solutions that operate from a
single voltage supply and feature a dual MII port implementation for
interfacing to additional embedded network processors in more sophisticated
applications. They eliminate any external memory or complex support
circuitry, and meet European 2011 Code of Conduct requirements for adapters
and QoS, which is important for video distribution around the home. They also
meet the active and standby power requirements for adapters of the Energy
using Products Directive (EuP) Lot 6.
