Digital home operator switches on for an IPO

Over the next few years, we should see the emergence of the so-called digital home. But it requires some tough technology. And a major player in the space is Intellon (with about 15 years' experience).

To ramp things up, the company has filed to go public.

Essentially, Intellon is a fabless semiconductor operator and its chips allow for high-speed communications over existing wiring. In other words, it's possible for a person do things like download video on a computer and share it on a television in another room.

it's pretty cool stuff and the technology has 25 issued patents – and there are 29 pending. And the business is certainly robust. Over the past year, revenues surged from $16.6 million to $33.7 million.

The lead underwriters include Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) and Deutsche Bank Securities. The proposed ticker symbol is ITLN. The company's prospectus is on the SEC website. And, if you want to see more recent IPO filings, click here.
