Entropic Achieves MoCA(R) 1.1 Band E Golden Node Certification
May 02 2013 - 9:16PM
Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions
for the connected home, today announced its Multimedia over Coax
Alliance (MoCA®) 1.1 silicon has received golden node certification
by the MoCA Board of Directors for the Band E frequency, which is a
mid-RF band used in DIRECTV homes. Upon today's approval,
Entropic's golden node can be leveraged by National Technical
Systems (NTS), the MoCA authorized lab, to execute the MoCA
certification testing on new MoCA 1.1 Band E devices.
Entropic's MoCA 1.1 Band E solution, embedded in
Ethernet-to-Coax Adapters (ECAs), will be used to certify MoCA Band
E-compliant devices in the frequency range of 475 – 625 MHz.
Entropic was a key contributor to MoCA's Specification Working
Group and Certification Working Group to help define and test the
advanced features of the MoCA 1.1 Band E solution, and is proud to
drive the standard forward.
"Our MoCA 1.1 Band E golden node further extends our leadership
in the MoCA market," said Anton Monk, vice president, Technology,
Entropic. "Using our golden node in the official MoCA test-bed at
NTS is a testament to our unmatched experience in MoCA, the
interoperability with other MoCA connected home devices and our
ability to bring products to market across all frequency
bands."
Entropic's MoCA 1.1 silicon has been golden node certified for
Band D frequencies used by cable, telco/IPTV Pay-TV segments since
2008. With the launch of this new Band E certification, copies of
Entropic's MoCA golden node can be released to MoCA members
interested in serving all three Pay-TV segments, under the "MoCA
Test Bed Participation Agreement."
