LONDON and SAN DIEGO, September 2,
2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Teleste Corporation, a leading provider of video and broadband
technologies and services has taken broadband access to
Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) and hotel rooms to the next level by
introducing a new range of Ethernet over Coax (EoC) products,
powered by Entropic's c.LINK™ 1.1+ Broadband Access technology. The
new Teleste EoC solutions enable broadband data to be distributed
over an existing coax network, without installing any new
cables.
The new EoC products will be on display at the International
Broadcast Conference (IBC2014) in Amsterdam at the RAI Convention Centre, 12 -16
September, at the Teleste stand (4.B61, Hall 4) and in the Entropic
Meeting Suite (G106/G107, Hall 13).
The Teleste products are based on Entropic's c.LINK 1.1+
Broadband Access technology, which brings a massive increase in
total bandwidth throughput to 800Mbps and the total number of
connected Wi-Fi extenders to 252 devices. By using c.LINK 1.1+,
hospitality facilities, leisure environments and MDUs gain an ideal
system to access higher speed broadband entertainment services
including HD Video on Demand (VoD).
"The key application for this technology is the delivery of
reliable high speed data and HD video to a large number of client
devices, with particular emphasis on being able to extend Wi-Fi
anywhere in the building. In the case of hotel facilities, c.LINK
enables hotel operators to install a Wi-Fi extender in every room,
using the same coaxial cable network that delivers the regular
linear TV signal," said Jason Dando,
Ethernet over Coax product manager, Teleste. "With the exponential
increase in Wi-Fi enabled consumer devices, hotel guests demand to
have the best quality Wi-Fi coverage and bandwidth. The new EoC
Wi-Fi extender product, powered by Entropic, enables hotel guests
to enjoy their devices with a similar or better experience when
compared to their home set-up."
To install the client device, simply connect it between the
coaxial wall outlet and the existing TV. Each client device
provides a Wi-Fi hotspot and Ethernet ports for tablet and/or
laptop hook-up. The entire installation process can be done in just
a few minutes. This ease of installation is critical to the
hospitality industry, as it minimizes revenue loss due to service
upgrades. This no new wires approach further reduces
deployment time and overall capital expense.
"We believe our c.LINK 1.1+ Broadband Access system is an ideal
solution for the hospitality and MDU markets," said Roger Gregory, vice president, Marketing,
Entropic. "In the hospitality case, the central network controller
is able to manage the connection speeds of each individual client
per service agreement. For example, standard rooms may have basic
service with 'good enough speed' for email and web browsing,
whereas premium rooms can have 'upgraded speed' for HD video
streaming without glitches."
Entropic's innovative c.LINK 1.1+ EoC Broadband Access solution
is ideal for high density MDU and hospitality environments. It is
comprised of the EN3681 Network Controller (NC) and the EN3690
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and offers the industry's first
multiple-channel EoC solution that can deliver up to 800 Mbps of
aggregated throughput. These key features satisfy consumer demand
for HD video content across a variety of connected devices.

The Ethernet over Coax Broadband Access Wi-Fi adapter is
currently available from Asheridge Communications that is a member
