Sigma Designs announced that its HomePlug chipset passed its LAN certification testing.

Based on the HomePlug AV v1.1 specification, the CG2110 chipset is designed for home AV networking over existing AC power lines. Featuring guaranteed QoS, the CG2110 chipset uses network resources for multiple simultaneous streams of real-time high-definition video, audio, voice and data in the presence of best-effort data transfers.

Gabi Hilevitz, vice president and general manager of Sigma Designs' Home Connectivity business unit, said the certification has encouraged more than a dozen companies to continue building products with the company's chips.
