GEN4-BPL FOR SMART HOMES
Eliminate WiFi dead zones and bring your high-speed Internet applications to every corner of the house with MegaChips’ proven broadband powerline networking technology. Plug in, pair, done!
NO MORE DEAD ZONES. JUST PURE PERFORMANCE.
No one likes pulling cables through walls. Or troubleshooting WiFi networks.
With Gen4-BPL, they won’t have to. Gen4-BPL gives you a powerful plug-and-play, IP-based solution for delivering high-speed connections to places where WiFi struggles to reach. Now you can instantly turn any existing wire in the home into a high-speed communication line.
Gen4-BPL is a highly integrated SoC (System-on-Chip) combining the Physical (PHY), Media-Access-Control (MAC), and Analog-Front-End (AFE). It includes high precision A/D, D/A data converters, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), bandpass filter, DC-DC converters, and line driver in a single compact package. This allows it to deliver speeds of up to 500Mbps at the PHY layer, and reach distances of several kilometers.
The Integrated Ethernet bridging function makes Gen4-BPL perfect for extending the range and taking the load off WiFi networks for your more demanding smart home applications. Gen4-BPL provides plenty of bandwidth – even for your data-rich audio and video applications. Plus, it’s cost-effective and easy to deploy.
Your customers will love it. And so will your support teams.

POWERFUL BENEFITS DELIVERED THROUGH HD-PLC
HEADACHE-FREE INSTALLATION
Plug-and-play Ethernet connection at every electrical outlet in the home! Gen4-BPL leverages the home’s existing electrical wiring to create a whole home high-speed wired network. Gen4-BPL acts as an Ethernet bridge – between the router and the powerlines – delivering high-speed data over the same electrical lines that power your devices.
BLAZING-FAST SPEEDS
With PHY rates up to 500Mbps, you’ll have plenty of bandwidth for data-heavy audio, video, and voice applications. No audio glitches, nor video lags. Only crystal-clear communication.
READY TO SCALE
Thinking of scaling your network and capabilities? Do that and more using Gen4-BPL’s Streamer. Gen4-BPL Streamer offers unbeatable speeds for uninterrupted audio and video quality for applications from video entry systems and IP cameras, to home automation devices such as smart thermostats. Ensure seamless communication for all devices in the home. For speed and efficiency at long range, supporting up to 124 nodes, Streamer is an ideal choice.
COST-EFFICIENT
Who says a quality connection has to be expensive? Gen4-BPL works over any wire to establish a network that is accessible through every electrical, coax, twisted-pair, or phone line outlet already installed at the home or office. No need for a network specialist, no matter how complex.
