Entropic's EN2810 Second-Generation, Single-Chip MoCA 2.0 System Solution Honored for Exceptional Innovation


SAN DIEGO, June 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, today announced the EN2810, its second-generation, single-chip Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) 2.0 system solution has received a 2014 Cable Spotlight Product of the Year Award from Cable.TMCnet.com, a TMC sponsored cable technology website.

Building upon the maturity and performance of Entropic's first-generation MoCA 2.0 solution, the only MoCA 2.0 certified chipset already used in numerous OEM platforms, the EN2810 offers a path to a more economical and lower power solution without any sacrifices in performance.

Potential applications include IP-Client set-top boxes when paired with Entropic's advanced system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions, gateway devices when partnered with DOCSIS integrated circuits (ICs) and other home networking products such as broadband routers, access points, Ethernet-to-Coax Adapters and WiFi extenders.

"Entropic is honored that our EN2810 MoCA 2.0 solution has been recognized by TMC for a 2014 Cable Spotlight Product of the Year Award," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president, Global Marketing, Entropic.
