Business Wire, April 24, 2006

OCALA, Fla. & FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. -- D-Link Corporation, a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking, wireless, broadband, digital electronics, and voice and data communications products, announced today that it has designed a new HomePlug product to address the emerging market of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) for Chunghwa Telecom using Intellon's(R) HomePlug with Turbo IC's.

In recent years, telecom service providers have introduced innovative new services for delivering digital content over ADSL networks to digital media adapters (DMA) and IPTV set-top-box that require easy setup and connectivity.

D-Link's DHP-200 adapters leverage HomePlug-based technology, allowing IPTV subscribers of Chunghwa Telecom to achieve connectivity between their access modems and IPTV set-top-box using the existing power lines in their homes. Based on Intellon Corporation's advanced HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo technology, customers can solve their end to end connectivity problem around their entertainment center. After successfully testing the HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo adapters from D-Link, Chunghwa Telecom decided to adopt D-Link adapters for its subscribers.

"D-Link is excited to be selected by the largest telecom service provider in Taiwan for their IPTV deployments," said AJ Wang, CTO of D-Link. "D-Link's new HomePlug adapter represents the simplest way to connect to end points for IPTV installations."

"We are happy to be working with D-Link to address Chunghwa Telecom's need for fast, secure and reliable whole-house networking for their IPTV service", stated Cameron McCaskill, vice president of business development for Intellon. "Our No New Wires(R) Homeplug-based integrated circuits are being chosen by manufacturers and service providers worldwide to meet the technical demands of whole-house service deployment and media distribution."
