CopperGate Communications, a developer of high performance chipsets for
broadband access and networking, announced the shipment of 5 million
HomePNA chipsets worldwide.

Clearly, HomePNA technology has achieved tremendous traction in the
market, especially around IPTV, said Gabi Hilevitz, Chief Executive
Officer of CopperGate. We are proud that our blazing fast technology is
delivering such high fidelity HD video to so many more customers around
the world.

CopperGate stated that the HomePNA is the only ITU-T home networking
standard over coax and phone lines and it delivers up to 320 Mbit/s of
transmission, more than any other home networking technology. HomePNA
is perfect for coax installations. There are now more than 25 certified
products supporting HomePNA, more than any other coax networking
technology. CopperGate said that the company delivers the highest
Quality of Service (QoS) over coax which is why CopperGate s HomePNA
chips are embedded in millions of devices deployed in the field and
have connected over 15,000 miles of coax to date.

"HomePNA delivers on its promise. It's fast, reliable, practical and
cost-effective," said Joyce Putscher, Principal Analyst, at market
research firm In-Stat. "In addition, HomePNA enables service providers
to easily integrate over-the-top IPTV applications and triple-play
services that drive customer retention and increase service provider
ARPUs. As a leading supplier of this technology, it's no surprise
CopperGate is doing so well."
