Entropic Pitches 800-Meg Ethernet-over-Coax Chip

March 22, 2013 |
BEIJING -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, today announced the EN3681 Network Controller (NC) and the EN3690 Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) – the Company's newest generation of c.LINK® 1.1+ Ethernet-over-Coax (EoC) Broadband Access solutions. Entropic's latest c.LINK 1.1+ offering is the first multiple-channel EoC solution that can deliver up to 800 Mbps of aggregated throughput, ensuring the bandwidth and flexibility needed to meet China's Next Generation Broadcasting (NGB) requirements. Entropic is demonstrating its new EoC solution at the China Content Broadcasting Network(CCBN) exhibition – Hall 3, Booth #3403 – which takes place this week in Beijing.

To satisfy consumer demand for high definition (HD) video content across a variety of connected devices, and to meet requirements set forth by the NGB initiative, China MSOs are looking for high throughput broadband access solutions to reliably drive more entertainment services and applications to their subscribers.

Entropic's EN3681 NC and EN3690 CPE solution delivers the industry's highest performance, highest density EoC solution in the smallest form factor. The technology employs the first-ever multiple-channel solution which raises the performance bar – bringing 800 Mbps of aggregated throughput to MSOs' networks, and operates across a wide frequency range, making it easy to co-exist with Low RF and other High RF solutions. This flexibility allows MSOs to easily augment their capacity needs if more bandwidth is desired. This new generation of EoC solution is backward compatible with Entropic's c.LINK 1.1 install base, protecting MSOs investments and provides an upgrade path over their existing services.
