Entropic shipped 50million+ MoCA 1.0/1.1 chipsets since 2007

Entropic Communications Inc.has announced it has shipped more than fifty million MoCA 1.0/1.1 chipsets since 2007.

"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."

"Demand for connected home entertainment is driving what we believe will be a multi-year growth cycle for the consumer electronics industry, and our MoCA solutions are paramount in this advancement," said Patrick Henry, president and CEO, Entropic Communications. "Entropic is focused on further advancing MoCA solutions to give consumers the best experience for video, voice and Internet services and the ultimate control over how, when and where they enjoy their home entertainment."

Earlier this year, Entropic announced its latest MoCA offering, MoCA 2.0, an end-to-end solution with MAC, PHY, analog, RF transceiver and RF front-end functionality.
