Abilis Systems and MaxLinear Introduce a Reference Platform for Satellite Home Gateways That Distributes up to Eight Satellite TV Channels to IP-Connected Devices
LUXEMBOURG–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SES Industry Days Conference – Abilis Systems and MaxLinear (NYS: MXL) , leaders in low-power IC design for digital TV applications, today announced the world’s first eight-channel satellite headless gateway reference platform.
This “headless gateway” platform addresses the ever-increasing demand for viewing of high-quality content on multiple screens. This platform is not directly connected to a TV, like a set-top box, but is network connected and accessible by multiple screens in a home. Acting as a media server, these headless gateway platforms are optimized for SAT>IP and DLNA services.
The gateway reference platform converts satellite TV content into IP packets for streaming in home, thus enabling users to enjoy the benefit of watching today’s DTH services on televisions as well as on IP-enabled devices such as tablets, laptops, smartphones, game consoles and other platforms.
The gateway platform has four RF inputs to be used with existing satellite dishes and low-noise block (LNB) downconverters. It combines the high throughput of the Abilis TB101 network processor with the MxL584 receiver to realize unprecedented low-power consumption and a very low bill-of-materials (BOM). This new platform offers satellite operators a cost, performance, and size-optimized solution to expand their TV offering to tablets and smartphones.
The reference platform is very small and can be designed with multiple applications in mind, for example with a single LNB (using DiSEqC) up to four LNBs. The small design is enabled by MaxLinear’s highly integrated MxL584 Full-Spectrum Capture™ (FSC™) DVB-S/S2 receiver.
The four-input MxL584 receiver integrates tuners required for multi-inputs, eight demodulators, and all the active front-end components, including the low-noise amplifiers (LNA) into a compact and cost-effective 10×10 QFN package.
The TB101 integrates a high-throughput demux supporting up to 800Mbps in eight independent TV streams, a CAS to DRM crypto engine and a Gigabit Ethernet. The chip transforms eight HD TV channels into IP format consuming less than 500mW, using only few DMIPS per channel.
“We’re very pleased to team up with MaxLinear to design the next generation of eight-channel satellite gateway platforms. With this unique co-developed cost effective platform, we’re enabling operators to differentiate their offering with easy to deploy solutions for distribution of secured and FTA content

With the tax deadline less than two weeks away, thinking about ways to reduce your tax liability and/or eliminate your future taxes by opening or contributing to an Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, should still be at the forefront of all investors’ minds.
Yesterday, I examined five great ideas for the conservative investor looking to contribute to their 2012 IRA. Today I’m going to mix things up and turn my attention to younger investors who are concerned less about capital preservation and dividends, and are more likely to seek out big growth potential and take on more risk. Here are five smart stock ideas to get younger investors started in building their perfect IRA.
1. Celgene : Biotechnology company Celgene isn’t going to offer investors a dividend, but it’ll make up for it in a number of ways.
To start with, Celgene’s management announced plans at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in January to double its sales and triple its total profit by 2017 with nothing but organic growth! Sales of the company’s multiple myeloma drug Revlimid remain strong, and its other cancer drug, Abraxane, gained FDA approval to treat non-small-cell lung cancer in October and has shown demonstrable efficacy in treating pancreatic cancer when combined with Eli Lilly‘s Gemzar.
It’s also all about Celgene’s pipeline. Pomalyst, the company’s newest multiple myeloma drug, was approved in February as an advanced-stage treatment and could fetch in excess of $1.1 billion in revenue by 2017 according to Piper Jaffray. Psoriasis drug apremilast is another pipeline contender worth watching, with the potential for $1.1 billion to $1.75 billion in peak sales if approved by the FDA, according to the company. Celgene is the type of biotech that could morph into what we now refer to as “big pharma” over the next decade.
2. Qualcomm : Market value is just a number; despite being valued at $113 billion, there’s absolutely no reason that Qualcomm can’t double in size over the next decade.
Qualcomm should be an attractive investment to all young investors, as it’s the only true vertically integrated mobile components supplier. The company’s CDMA wireless technology is found in a myriad of electronic devices from companies ranging from Apple to Nokia. It also introduced the RF360 in February, a chip able to process RF bands on the front end that could make RF chips obsolete in future 4G LTE models. Between its Gobi LTE modems and its dominant Snapdragon processors, there’s not a more dominant company in wireless technology.
The other half of the argument for why Qualcomm is a no-brainer buy is the sheer number of opportunities that exist in the emerging markets for Qualcomm to make its mark. Russia and its highly saturated market is yet to move beyond 3G capabilities, while Latin and South America are rapidly trying to upgrade their networks. Qualcomm’s dominance in wireless technologies is expected to span decades, not just this decade, and it could make for a …read more
