The whole home hot spot

With more and more channels, HD and soon 4K, service providers have thrown resources at bringing bandwidth to the door. Now their customers want complete flexibility within the home – the freedom to use a range of devices for broadband and video, anywhere, anytime.

So, all the bandwidth the network can provide needs to be made available all over the whole home all of the time. The operator has a number of choices including taking fibre or DOCSIS 3 into the home, Wi-Fi and power line, but each method has issues; namely they are either prohibitively expensive or intrinsically unreliable or, at best, inconsistent.

An economic and reliable solution for whole home bandwidth has been deployed and proven in many millions of homes across North America, Latin America, China and elsewhere. MoCA® – Multimedia over Coax Alliance, is the open standard alliance for maximising the potential of in-home coaxial networks for multimedia.
Now the solution is coming to Europe as Teleste, the Finnish video technology company, introduces its first range of Ethernet over Coax (EoC) devices, leveraging MoCA 2.0 from Entropic, the founder of the MoCA technology.

MoCA 2.0 devices offer a massive step forward in bandwidth capability with a minimum of 400Mbps provided, easily handling multiple streams of 4K video without any upgrade of the existing home network. To extend that connectivity all around the home and even the garden requires Wi-Fi and Teleste has brought to market, through its Asheridge brand, its Coax WiFi adapter which is powered by Entropic’s second generation MoCA 2.0 single chip solution, the EN2810. Entropic’s new iteration of the solution is the most compact, lowest power and most economical solution available, and maximises throughput to guarantee the most stringent QoS demands.Alongside performance, simplicity and usability are priorities for both provider and consumer.

Teleste’s 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.
