Intellon Corporation (Nasdaq: ITLN) designs and sells integrated circuits (ICs) for powerline communications, providing HomePlug® - compliant and other powerline ICs for home networking, networked entertainment, commercial and Smart Grid applications.

In 2001, Intellon introduced the first HomePlug-based IC, and has since developed several new generations of HomePlug-based ICs. In 2006, Intellon introduced the first HomePlug AV-based IC, which can deliver the quality of service required to support reliable, uninterrupted distribution of standard- and high-definition video among personal computers and consumer electronics products.
