LONDON and SAN DIEGO, September 4,
2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Teleste Corporation, a leading provider of video and broadband
technologies and services, has made the next big evolutionary step
with MoCA® (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) technology. Teleste is
the first company in Europe to
bring to market a whole new range of EoC (Ethernet over Coax)
devices, based on Entropic's latest MoCA 2.0 chipset design.
The new MoCA 2.0 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
Entropic's Meeting Suite (G106/G107, Hall
13).
The new MoCA 2.0-based devices offer a massive increase in real,
or MAC, data throughput. MoCA 2.0 pushes the performance envelope
beyond other competing technologies, offering a minimum of 400Mbps
- making it an essential choice for operators who need to get
multiple streams of HD and 4K video entertainment around a
customer's home without performance issues and without installing
any new cables. The new MoCA 2.0 standard can also deliver one
single point-to-point link over coax of 1000Mbps, when in 'turbo'
bonded mode. Another key benefit is that the MoCA technology uses
the existing coax cables and outlets in the home, while coexisting
with the TV and broadband signals.
Powering Teleste's Ethernet over Coax Wi-Fi adapter is
Entropic's second-generation, single-chip MoCA 2.0 system solution,
the EN2800-series. Building upon the maturity and performance of
Entropic's first-generation MoCA 2.0 solution, the EN2800-series
now offers the most compact, economical and lowest power solution
available on the market today - without sacrificing performance.
Additionally, the EN2800-series provides the maximum throughput,
critical power management features and enhanced network
dependability to meet stringent Quality of Service (QoS)
requirements.
"We believe the killer application for this new found speed
and performance is rapidly shaping up to be high speed wireless
extension throughout the customer's property and
garden," said Jason Dando,
Ethernet over Coax product manager, Teleste. "With so many Wi-Fi
only devices now in consumers' homes, operators
are seeing that it is no longer good enough to just deliver high
speed data to the front door, it has to go right through every part
of the home and deliver that performance right into the
customer's hand."
With the demand for this killer app very much in focus, Teleste
is launching a version of their adapter with 80211.AC wireless and
4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Connecting these to the in-home coax
network will provide high speed Wi-Fi coverage to in-home dead
spots where traditional single hotspots do not get coverage.
Dando continued, "We firmly believe that high speed data and
Wi-Fi is now as essential a utility in the
subscriber's home as their water and gas. So because
of this it should be every bit as reliable. Imagine how unhappy
subscribers would be if the electricity in their homes only worked
in some of their rooms, or if the lights went dim when too many
people were using them. We see Wi-Fi extension with
Entropic's MoCA 2.0 technology as the only way
forward for any operator who is serious about delivering high
performance broadband, video and data."
"Teleste continues to evolve home networking with their
adapter solutions," said Al
Servati, vice president, Marketing, Entropic. "With
Entropic's MoCA 2.0 technology embedded in the new
Teleste Ethernet over Coax Wi-Fi adapter, consumers can finally
create a true and un-interrupted whole-home network to access all
of their high-quality multimedia content stored inside the home and
in the cloud."
Simple Plug-and Play Set-Up
The Teleste Ethernet over Coax 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 Teleste Ethernet over Coax Wi-Fi adapter is currently
available.
