COLOGNE -- MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for cable and satellite broadband communications, the connected home, data center, metro, long-haul fiber networks and wireless infrastructure, today announced that the Unitron Group has added one of Europe’s largest satellite operators as a customer of its digital single cable router (SCR) multiswitch solution, which is based on MaxLinear’s EN5520 digital channel stacking switch (dCSS) IC.

Unitron, based in Poperinge, Belgium, chose the MaxLinear EN5520 solution based on its advanced feature set, which includes 32 dynamically programmable user bands and dual L-band outputs for complete end product flexibility with a single design. One EN5520 can be used across multiple MDU switch applications, reducing Unitron’s multiswitch development cost and enabling faster time to market with differentiated products.

“MaxLinear has a proven track record in the satellite ODU market as the global leader in traditional analog CSS technologies and an innovator of dCSS solutions in deployment today,” said Joris Goemaere, Business Development Director, Unitron Group. “We believe that MaxLinear’s EN5520 is the ideal choice for MDU switch applications at tier-1 service operators due to its low power, rich feature set, small size and design flexibility.”
