Jiuzhou Integrates Entropic's c.LINK 1.1 Ethernet Over Coax Broadband Access Solution Into High Definition Set-Top Boxes
August 28 2013 - 8:00AM
Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions
for the connected home, announced today its c.LINK® 1.1 Ethernet
over Coax (EoC) Broadband Access solution has been integrated into
high definition (HD) set-top boxes (STBs) from leading Chinese STB
manufacturer, Sichuan Jiuzhou Electronic Technology Co., LTD,
(Jiuzhou). By embedding Entropic's c.LINK silicon and software into
a single HD-STB, operators can get better scale from their
broadband access network and more quickly and cost-effectively
offer Video-on-Demand (VOD) services.
Cable operators throughout China are looking for complete,
end-to-end video and broadband access solutions. By using the
Jiuzhou STBs integrated with Entropic's c.LINK technology,
operators can capitalize on the stability of their c.LINK EoC
network infrastructure and accelerate VOD service deployments.
"To offer value-added VOD services and other advanced IP-based
video services, Chinese operators require a rich, robust
connectivity backbone," said Jia Biming, general manager, Jiuzhou.
"By leveraging Entropic's c.LINK solution in both the STB and the
broadband access infrastructure, subscribers are certain to get a
faster, more exciting video viewing experience."
"Interactive, or two-way set-top boxes, are the key to increase
ARPU," said Tom Luan, vice president and general manager, China
operations, Entropic. "Jiuzhou's new generation HD-STB advances the
use of our c.LINK technology – progressing it forward from its
traditional broadband access modem use case to a video-specific
set-top box that will expedite MSOs' NGB initiatives, increase
their ARPU and reduce overall operational expenses."
