The new platform combines Quantenna's industry acclaimed
802.11n QHS710 solution with Sigma's highly integrated 8652
connected media platform technology. This joint design will
provide the best-in-class wireless and media processor
combination on the market.
"By adding Quantenna's highly reliable Wi-Fi video delivery
to our portfolio, we now can provide our customers with the
most complete connectivity solution in the industry," said
Thinh Tran, CEO and chairman at Sigma Designs. "The addition
of Wi-Fi to our G.hn, HomePNA and HomePlug AV solutions,
allows us to offer operator flexibility whether wireless or
wireline networking is required."
Quantenna has developed its 4x4 MIMO technology to meet the
stringent requirements of highly reliable media-based
applications like IPTV and whole-home video distribution.
Quantenna's family of Full-11n™ chipsets uses the
company's cost-optimized, third-generation QHS710
chipset to deliver up to 600 Mbps of bandwidth.
"Our partnership with Sigma is another significant step to
accelerate the adoption of our industry leading MIMO
technology for whole-home multimedia entertainment," says Dr.
Sam Heidari, chief executive officer for Quantenna. "This new
reference design with Sigma demonstrates how
two industry leaders can bring unparalleled performance and
value to OEM partners and service providers for next
generation set-top box designs,"
The award-winning SMP8652 media processor from Sigma Designs
integrates a complete suite of next-generation capabilities
for a single-chip SoC solution with powerful multimedia
processing, robust content security system, multiple on-chip
CPUs, and a full complement of system peripherals. Its
combination of on-chip processors and memory controllers
provides the needed headroom for the next generation of
client middleware and software stacks. At the same time,
establishing a minimal memory footprint using a high-speed
32-bit data path enables implementations with small form
factors, lower bill of material (BOM) costs, and lower power
dissipation.
The reference design will be available in the first quarter of 2012 for early access customers. Sigma Designs will be demonstrating, by appointment only, the Quantenna-based reference design at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, N.V. (January 10th - 13th), at the Las Vegas Hilton.
