AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, 2014-09-12 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (IBC, Entropic Meeting Suite G106/G107; Hall 13) -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, announced today that Triax has added new Entropic-based MoCA(r) (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) Ethernet-to Coax Adapters (ECAs) to its in-home connectivity product suite. By adding MoCA adapters to its product offerings, Triax is enabling European service providers to offer more advanced, high-bandwidth IP streaming services that leverage the extremely reliable, high throughput connection that is offered by Entropic's MoCA technology.

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 adding MoCA-based ECAs to its product line-up, Triax 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. The new ECAs enable consumers to gain the most reliable home entertainment experience, and service providers to offer enough bandwidth for streaming high volumes of whole-home High-Definition (HD)/Ultra HD (UHD) multimedia, online gaming, and data content - with no latency.

MoCA adapters give consumers and operators alike 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. Plus, Entropic-based MoCA adapters 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 and cloud gaming, over-the-top (OTT) / Internet content and wireless entertainment anywhere in the home.

'Triax is proud to be working with the founder of the MoCA standard to provide premium MoCA home networking solutions to the Retail and Operator markets,' said Peter Lyhne Uhrenholt, product director, Triax. 'The European market has high demand for technology solutions that can improve the performance of the home network and deliver a robust and dependable in-home video and content distribution system.'

In addition to offering ECAs based on Entropic's MoCA home networking technology, Triax is also offering a full portfolio of single-cable outdoor unit (ODU) products based on Entropic's leading analog Channel Stacking Switch (CSS(tm)) single-cable integrated circuit (IC) technology. By providing CSS technologies with the use of MoCA home networking, satellite operators gain a competitive advantage in their ability to offer the most reliable streaming of multiple HD and UHD video, audio and data traffic into and throughout the home.

Mr. Uhrenholt continued, 'This is an exciting time for home entertainment and we believe that by combining the CSS and MoCA solutions, Triax can provide a single Home Networking solution for satellite as well as IPTV and cable homes.'

'We believe Triax can increase the penetration and expansion for MoCA throughout Europe as European consumers across all Pay-TV segments want more HD and UHD streaming services -- from multiroom content sharing to over-the-top video and WiFi extension,' said Al Servati, vice president, Marketing, Entropic. 'We are invested in growing the European home networking market and recognize there is a great opportunity to expand the technology's reach and awareness.'
