Business Wire
- ZTE Cable and MaxLinear will jointly
promote c.LINK and MoCA Access to China’s cable multiple system
operators as low-cost alternative to deep fiber
China Content Broadcasting Network – MaxLinear Inc.
(NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) and
mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home and wired
and wireless infrastructure markets, today announced that it is
partnering with ZTE Cable to develop Ethernet-over-Coax (EoC)
equipment for China’s multiple service operators (MSO) using
MaxLinear’s c.LINK technology.
China’s MSOs are in the process of transforming from simple pay
TV providers to multiple system operators by offering data and
voice services. With over 200 million cable TV subscribers, the
China cable TV market is the largest addressable market for c.LINK
and MoCA Access equipment. With ZTE Cable entering the EoC market
using MaxLinear-based technology and products, MSOs gain another
significant supplier of field-proven EoC equipment.
c.LINK and MoCA Access Details
MaxLinear has a long history of supporting China’s MSOs seeking
to provide broadband data services. The company is currently
shipping its third generation EoC technology, c.LINK 1.1+, which
provides up to 800 Mbps of usable MAC throughput to 128
subscribers.
Based on the EN3681 network coordinator (NC) chip and the EN3690
customer premise equipment (CPE) chip, MaxLinear’s c.LINK 1.1+
solution offers MSOs an economical way to overlay support for
broadband data service without having to give up existing TV
services or install new cabling.
MoCA Access is a recently announced initiative by Multimedia
over Coax Alliance targeted to bring the same performance and
reliability found in its home networking products to a new set of
applications designed to support fiber-to-the-building (FTTB)
deployments. Similar to c.LINK, MoCA Access will use an MDU’s
existing coax cables to deliver broadband to each residential unit
from an optical terminal that is typically located in the basement
of the building or in an outdoor pedestal.
MoCA Access will leverage the same technologies used in the home
networking version of the standard to support an aggregate MAC
throughput up to 2.5 Gbps for use by up to 128 subscribers. The
technology provides a lower cost alternative to installing FTTB and
will be the fastest EoC available.
“ZTE Cable is a major equipment provider to the China market and
is a great partner for us to be working with on our EoC solutions,”
said Will Torgerson, MaxLinear Vice President & General Manager
of Broadband Group. “ZTE brings the scale required for MaxLinear to
gain even greater share of the EoC market in China.”
“MaxLinear has a great deal of experience developing EoC
technologies and successfully deploying its solutions in China,”
said Sun Chang, General Manager, of ZTE Cable. “We look forward to
working with MaxLinear to bring all this expertise into our joint
EoC efforts.”
MaxLinear’s c.LINK 1.1+ EoC solution and its next generation
MoCA 2.5 SoC are being demonstrated during the 2017 China Content
Broadcasting Network (CCBN) conference in Beijing from March 23-25,
2017, at the adjoining Radisson Blu hotel. Please contact your
local MaxLinear sales representative for an appointment.
Availability
MaxLinear’s c.LINK 1.1+ access product is in volume production
and MOCA 2.5 SoC will be in volume production later this year. More
