G.hn Powerline Wall-Plug Product Brief

Marvell G.hn GE-DW360F Powerline Wall-Plug
ITU-T G.hn Powered Wall-Plug Modem with MIMO Support
for Self-Install Home Entertainment Network Over Any Wire
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® GE-DW360F is the utmost performance powerline reference design with a G.hn-compliant MAC/PHY
transceiver, a Marvell Gigabit PHY 88E1510 and a built-in pass-through power socket. Targeted for multi-media
streaming applications of up to 1Gbps PHY rate, the Gigabit Ethernet wall-plug modem includes a Marvell digital
baseband processor, the Marvell 88LX3142, and Marvell analog front-end Marvell 88LX2718, with a full ITU-T G.hn
stack protocol and a powerful software API.
