GUANGZHOU, China -- Entropic Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTR) a leading provider of silicon solutions to enable connected home entertainment, today announced that Earda Electronics Ltd. has selected Entropic's RF4800 single chip silicon tuners for their digital cable tuner modules. Earda is China's largest manufacturer of silicon tuner modules for the Digital Terrestrial (DVB-T) and Digital Satellite (DVB-S) markets and is focused on meeting the demands of the rapidly growing Digital Cable(DVB-C) set-top box market.

Addressing the Demands of Cable Operators

Earda is a well-known and established Chinese brand with the reputation for designing and manufacturing digital tuner modules that comply with the DVB standard. As Chinese cable broadcasters upgrade their cable infrastructure to utilize digital cable technology, there is a need for high-performance digital cable tuners and set-top boxes that can deliver digital video to their subscribers.

"Up to now, Chinese set-top box manufacturers could only meet cable operator requirements by utilizing expensive discrete tuner modules from traditional suppliers," said Mr. Jeffrey Geng, General Manager of Earda Electronics. "With Entropic's tuner, we are now able to offer the Chinese set-top box vendors a compact, high performance DVB-C tuner module based on advanced silicon tuner technology."
