c.LINK^® Home Networking

Entropic's home networking solutions are based on the MoCA standard which uses the existing coax to create a robust IP-based network for easy sharing of HD video and other multimedia content throughout the home. We have been working on MoCA-related technology since 2001 and are currently shipping our second generation of MoCA-compliant products.

Our home networking solutions provide the following key benefits:

• High data rates. Deliver field tested consistent net throughput in excess of 175 megabits per second, or Mbps, and a physical layer, or PHY, rate of up to 270 Mbps. Suitble for multiple streams of HD video.
• High-quality video experience. Satisfy stringent QoS requirements of service providers and allow distribution of multiple streams of HD video.
• Ease of installation and use. Leverage existing coax infrastructure to simplify installation and enable plug-and-play implementation for consumers.
• Security and reliability. Create a shielded, self-healing network that provides high levels of fault tolerance, reliability and flexibility of deployment and supports service provider-based conditional access systems and encryption to protect the privacy of personal multi-media content.
• Remote upgrade and diagnostics. Deploy additional service offerings and perform system diagnostics through remotely upgradeable firmware and remote diagnostic tools.
