Entropic's MoCA Featured in Bright House Networks "Echo" Home Networking Solution
January 05 2015 - 8:30AM
CES 2015 -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader
in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, today announced
its Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) technology is featured in
the Echo whole house Wi-Fi solution being deployed by Bright House
Networks. The Echo Access Points, supplied by Actiontec
Electronics, will be shown at the 2015 International Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, from January 6-9, 2015.
Echo, powered by Entropic's MoCA silicon, uses existing in-home
coax wiring as a network backbone to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones and
provide more consistent bandwidth for Ultra High-Definition (HD)
media, low latency online and cloud gaming, over-the-top (OTT) /
Internet content and wireless entertainment anywhere in the
home.
As consumers demand higher broadband throughput and connect more
and more devices, they have come to expect those increased speeds
anywhere in the home. A single Wi-Fi hotspot at the gateway does
not provide adequate whole home coverage to meet the increasing
demands of the consumer. The solution is to extend coverage by
adding Wi-Fi access points that, with MoCA, use the in-home coax as
a wired network backbone. Echo Access Points can be added anywhere
there is a cable outlet in the home to create a Wi-Fi blanket
throughout the house.
"In using Entropic's MoCA to create a wired backbone, Bright
House Networks ensures subscribers are reliably receiving the
broadband they are paying for throughout the entire home, enabling
subscribers to connect more devices to the internet without
sacrificing throughput," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president,
Global Marketing, Entropic. "We congratulate Bright House Networks
for being a market leader in delivering best-in-class solutions to
their customers."
Availability
The MoCA-based access points are available in Bright House
Networks service areas today. Entropic will be demonstrating the
Access Points at the 2015 CES in the Entropic Meeting Suite,
located at The Wynn Las Vegas – Alsace Ballroom.
