Entropic First to Announce Officially-Approved MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes
December 04 2013 - 4:01PM
Today at 1:00pm PT, the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) Board
of Directors approved the first official MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes.
Upon conclusion of a unanimous vote by the MoCA Board, Entropic
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the
connected home, is first to officially announce Board-approved MoCA
2.0 Golden Node certification. Upon this approval, Entropic's MoCA
2.0 Golden Nodes will be used by National Technical Systems (NTS),
the MoCA authorized lab, to execute MoCA certification testing on
all MoCA 2.0 devices.
Entropic was first to introduce a complete MoCA 2.0 solution to
empower a new revolution in home networking by answering the
growing demand for powerful connectivity within the home. As the
recognized inventor of MoCA and a pioneer in the technology's
development and deployment, Entropic has built on the success of
its MoCA 1.1/1.0 products to make MoCA 2.0 the next key enabling
technology to deliver a 'no excuses' whole-home network for high
definition (HD) and Ultra HD video and streaming media services -
all over existing coax in the home.
"The MoCA process for creating Golden Nodes is a very rigorous
procedure and is the culmination of a great amount of effort to
assure the market adheres to the MoCA 2.0 specification," said
Charles Cerino, president, MoCA. "Following the official approval
by the MoCA Board of first MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes today at
1:00pm PT, we congratulate Entropic on its continued MoCA success
and leadership in bringing the first officially-approved MoCA 2.0
Golden Nodes to market."
Importance of MoCA 2.0 Golden Node
Certification
In order to ensure all MoCA 2.0-enabled home networking devices
from global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and technology
vendors meet the MoCA standard for quality and interoperability, a
certification process is required. This process, established by
MoCA, verifies compliance to the MoCA technology specification,
which is accomplished primarily through interoperability testing
with Golden Nodes. Golden Nodes are MoCA-compliant devices with
specific capabilities to support the certification testing, and
which go through laborious pre-testing at NTS. All devices that
seek certification are tested against the Golden Nodes as part of
the certification process.
"Using our MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes as the official MoCA testing
solution at NTS is proof that our technology and experience in MoCA
is unmatched," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president, Global
Marketing, Entropic. "Entropic's MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes are the
benchmark for testing interoperability with other MoCA 2.0
connected home devices and will enable a new generation of home
networking solutions that will deliver greater throughput, enhanced
reliability, new power management features, better security, and
backwards interoperability to prior MoCA standards."
