Entropic MoCA is essential to distributing IPTV services within the subscriber home


(China Content Broadcasting Network ExhibitionRadisson "Blu" Beijing) -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, announced today that Sichuan Telecom, a subsidiary of China Telecom, China's largest Internet service provider, is deploying a new Entropic-based MoCA® (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) Ethernet-to Coax Adapter (ECA) to distribute IPTV services.

Adoption of MoCA as the leading home networking backbone solution continues to gain traction globally as consumers want a secure, high-speed distribution network for broadband and WiFi extension in every room of their home(s). By deploying MoCA-based ECAs to its subscribers', Sichuan Telecom is providing a straightforward plug-and-play solution – that simply connects to the existing in-home coaxial network – to create a high-speed, whole-home entertainment backbone for IPTV services. Sichuan Telecom is the first telecom operator in China to provide MoCA-enabled adapters to its subscribers.

MoCA adapters, or ECAs, provide Sichuan Telecom a cost-effective way to bring Internet access to all connected entertainment devices in the home by converting the existing in-home coaxial wiring into an Ethernet network, without having to run multiple cables. In addition to IPTV applications, Entropic-based MoCA adapters can improve whole-home video and data coverage by extending the wired network backbone to all corners of the home in order to distribute HD and UHD media, low latency online gaming, over-the-top (OTT) / Internet content and wireless entertainment anywhere in the home.

"Deployment of MoCA technology by Sichuan Telecom represents the first telco deployment of MoCA in China, a significant milestone, demonstrating that MoCA is truly becoming a global standard," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president, Global Marketing, Entropic. "China's telecom operators represent a large untapped market for MoCA enabled products and this is just the beginning of Entropic's efforts to see MoCA used pervasively throughout China."

Availability

The MoCA-based ECAs are available from Sichuan Telecom today. Entropic will be demonstrating its full range of MoCA products at the 2015 CCBN conference in the Entropic Meeting Suite, located at Radisson "Blu" Beijing – Meeting Room suite 1420.
