New Taipei City, Taiwan – October 8, 2025 – Comtrend Corporation, a leading global provider of broadband networking solutions, proudly announces the successful certification of its GCA-6010 Endpoint under the G.hn Access (GHNA) Certification Program, jointly managed by the HomeGrid Forum (HGF) and the Broadband Forum (BBF).
The Comtrend GCA-6010 Endpoint, a key component of its G.hn Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) access solution, has officially passed both Part A – Compliance & Interoperability testing, managed by HGF, and Part B – Performance testing, managed by BBF phases of the GHNA certification, conducted in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). These tests confirm full conformance with industry specifications for G.hn-based access networks, ensuring high-performance and interoperable broadband services over existing coaxial infrastructure.
The GCA-6010, designed for deployment in users’ apartments, is a high-performance G.hn Wave2 Endpoint adapter delivering up to 1.7 Gbps throughput over existing coaxial wiring. It features dual F-type connectors with TV passthrough, seamless coexistence with CATV signals, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The GCA-6010 operates in conjunction with the MDU-4640 Headend, located in a central MDU location, to deliver fast, reliable broadband services with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.
“Achieving GHNA certification for the GCA-6010 is a testament to Comtrend’s commitment to engineering excellence and adherence to open industry standards,” said Frank Chuang, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Comtrend. “This certified endpoint enables service providers to deploy cost-effective, high-speed broadband solutions in MDU environments with confidence in interoperability and performance.”
The rigorous certification process, conducted in close collaboration with MaxLinear, HGF, and BBF teams, included extensive testing, firmware validation, and formal interoperability assessments in Valencia (Spain) and Taipei (Taiwan). The UNH-IOL played a critical role in ensuring compliance with BBF’s performance testing standards.
“We are thrilled to welcome Comtrend’s GCA-6010 to the GHNA-certified ecosystem,” said Livia M. Rosu, President of the HomeGrid Forum and Director of Strategy and Alliances at MaxLinear. “This certification highlights Comtrend’s decades of dedication to advancing G.hn technology for addressing a variety of use cases and is a testimony of Comtrend team expertise for providing reliable Gigabit broadband access over existing coaxial infrastructure.”
“Congratulations to Comtrend for achieving GHNA certification for the GCA-6010,” said Ehud Kedar, HGF Marketing Chair. “This milestone strengthens the ecosystem of certified G.hn access devices, paving the way for broader operator deployments.”
The GHNA Certification Program was designed to combine HomeGrid Forum’s compliance and interoperability testing with The Broadband Forum’s performance testing of G.hn Access systems based on the ITU-T G.hn standard G.996x series, allowing network operators and service providers to accelerate broadband deployments with highly performant, interoperable, and standard compliant systems leveraging G.hn Access technology in Point-to-Point (P2P) and Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) network topologies for addressing a variety of FTTdp, MDU, SFU, and Fiber Extension scenarios.
The certified GCA-6010 is listed on the HomeGrid Forum Certified Product Page, marking Comtrend’s official entry into the global roster of GHNA-certified vendors.
