MoCA® Goes into Trials with Six European Service Providers

June 13, 2012 - - ANGA Cable, Hall 10, Level 1, Booth P29 — The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) announced today that MoCA technology is now being trialed by six service providers in Europe. This strong traction in Europe comes at a time when MoCA is increasingly being perceived by service providers worldwide as the most reliable in-home backbone for a hybrid home network that needs to handle an ever-increasing variety of media services.

“Going into trials with six European service providers demonstrates that there is serious demand in Europe for a reliable in-home backbone capable of extending and enhancing Wi-Fi® networks and providing the QoE that consumers expect from an ever-expanding range of media services,” said Charles Cerino, MoCA president.”

MoCA supports multiple streams of content - including HDTV, 3D, gaming, and OTT - via an IP-over-coax connection to numerous in-home devices, including HDTVs, game consoles and PCs. MoCA technology also provides the connection without interfering with existing technologies or services already in use.
