SAN RAMON, Calif., 2011-08-30 15:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
MoCA(r) (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) has passed a significant milestone with
the announcement that more than 100 MoCA products have now been certified. More
than 45 percent of all certifications have occurred since the start of 2010,
underlining the strong growth trajectory of the MoCA standard.
The majority (about 85 percent) of the 100 plus MoCA Certified products, which
are all video-specific, are used by pay TV operators. The remaining 15 percent
are available in retail and installer channels. Product categories include:
routers, set-top boxes, Ethernet-to-coax bridges, optical network terminals and
cable modems.
Already the dominant technology standard for whole home content sharing and DVR
in North America, MoCA's opportunities for further growth include new
geographies - particularly Europe - and new channels, such as the home
installer/retail sectors.
'As an alliance that focuses on certifying video-specific products, reaching
the century mark is a great achievement. What's particularly interesting about
this milestone is the sheer rate of growth in product certifications in the
last 18 months. We expect this certification rate to continue as we expand into
new geographic markets and into the home installer/retail segments,' said
Charles Cerino, MoCA president.
'MoCA's rigorous Interoperability Certification program is designed to exceed
the service provider's expectations for robust video networking, enabling them
to choose from a broad portfolio of products for worldwide deployments,' said
Dr. Stephen Palm, senior technical director at Broadcom and Chair of the
Certification Board for MoCA.
MoCA is the worldwide standard for home entertainment networking and the only
standard in deployment in all three pay TV segments (cable, satellite and
Telco/IPTV). MoCA is included in the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines and the
IEEE 802.1AS standard.
