Home Networking Gets Easier With the Asheridge / Teleste echoBox Wi-Fi Adapter Powered by Entropic's Leading MoCA Technology
January 28 2014 - 8:00AM
Asheridge Communications, a member of the international Teleste
Group specializing in broadband video and data communication
systems and services, has followed up on the success of their first
MoCA® (Multimedia over Coax Alliance)-based network adapter, the
echoBox, by introducing the new echoBox Wi-Fi home networking hub.
The new device integrates MoCA technology from Entropic
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the
connected home, to seamlessly connect all devices in the home over
MoCA, the most reliable home entertainment networking standard. The
echoBox Wi-Fi will be on display next week at the Integrated
Systems Europe 2014 Show in Amsterdam at the RAI Convention Center,
February 4-6, 2014, at the Asheridge / Teleste stand (5-S112).
The echoBox Wi-Fi combines multiple home networking connections
– Wi-Fi, Ethernet and MoCA – into its slim design as well as adds a
four-port Ethernet hub and Wi-Fi hotspot to the standard single
port MoCA adapter. As a media hub offering Wi-Fi extension,
consumers can connect all of their devices into one area; get a
local hotspot for maximum performance from tablets and mobile
devices; extend the range of the Wi-Fi network throughout the home
and give wired Ethernet connectivity to laptops, printers and the
NAS drive for home media streaming. By leveraging the power of
Entropic's MoCA technology, the echoBox Wi-Fi can ensure a stable
home networking backbone for seamless whole-home content
distribution – no matter how many people are connected to the home
network, or what each device is doing on the network.
"The strength of Entropic's MoCA technology trumps that of
competitive technologies; offering tremendous benefits for any type
of home network installation," said Jason Dando, product manager at
Teleste. "Our new Entropic-based echoBox Wi-Fi adapter gives rise
to a new type of device, where we no longer need a direct
connection between the main router / modem and the MoCA network
because our new adapter can even make a wireless bridge between the
two systems."
"Asheridge / Teleste continues to innovate when it comes to
making home networking easy," said Al Servati, vice president,
Marketing, Entropic. "Our MoCA technology embedded in the new
echoBox Wi-Fi adapter enables consumers to finally create a true
and uninterrupted whole-home network to access all of their
high-quality multimedia content stored inside the home and in the
cloud. This unique product also allows for consumers to connect
their new games consoles, such as the PS4 and Xbox One, to the
cloud using a wired coax backbone."
Simple Plug-and Play Set-Up
The echoBox Wi-Fi adapter uses a simple plug-and-play connection
to a standard Ethernet router and the in-home coax network. It
enables two or more units, with a maximum of 16 devices, to be
connected on the same coax network. Setting up the Wi-Fi is also
easy as consumers simply connect the device into the existing
router with the supplied Ethernet cable, configure the device by
typing the default address into a web browser on the consumer's
laptop or tablet and follow the onscreen wizard.
Availability
The echoBox Wi-Fi adapter is currently available from Asheridge
/ Teleste.
