Entropic Communications Ships More Than 50 Million MoCA Silicon Solutions

Entropic Communications ENTR today announced it has shipped more than fifty million MoCA 1.0/1.1 chipsets since 2007. Sitting at the center of a massive paradigm shift in the connected home entertainment market, Entropic's MoCA technology is enabling whole-home entertainment networks now being deployed by Verizon, DIRECTV, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cox Communications, Brighthouse, and other pay-TV service providers, covering over 70 percent of the U.S. market. Entropic's MoCA silicon and software solutions transform the home's coaxial infrastructure into a highly-efficient, cost effective, robust and reliable whole-home entertainment network; ready to meet the performance and connectivity demands of service providers' broadcast and broadband networks. With the technology's ability to deliver superior entertainment experiences—by handling multiple high definition (HD) video and data streams simultaneously—major global service providers have rolled out MoCA as their connected home backbone technology; making it the de facto standard for whole-home digital entertainment distribution. Entropic has been instrumental in driving MoCA's acceptance, deployment and growth across North America, and is currently replicating its success in other regions, including Europe. "Over the past 12 months, we've seen dramatic growth in MoCA deployments by pay TV providers, thanks to growing consumer demand for richer, more robust whole-home networking experiences and service providers' desires to offer new competitive services, such as multi-room DVRs, easy PC-to-TV content sharing, place-shifting of content, and Wi-Fi access," said Alan Breznick, senior analyst, Heavy Reading. "Entropic appears to be riding that wave, enabling consumers to have greater access and control over their content and entertainment services."
