(Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of silicon solutions to enable connected home entertainment, today announced the introduction of its third generation c.LINK solution for MoCA home networking, the EN2510. Entropic's award-winning c.LINK technology is already deployed in millions of homes to deliver high throughput capable of handling multiple streams of HD video with operator levels of robustness and quality of service. The newest c.LINK solution, the EN2510, is fully compliant with the latest MoCA 1.1 specification, DLNA interoperable and adds a number of performance and feature enhancements over previous c.LINK solutions.

A single chip MoCA solution, Entropic's EN2510 is the first c.LINK product to integrate the baseband MAC/PHY, analog front-end and the RF transceiver into a small 15x15 mm package.
