What are some of the alternative technologies and mediums available for home networking?When designing a home network, consider products that integrate both Wi-Fi and MoCA technology for maximum performance and satisfaction. Large houses, multi-dwelling unit environments, thick building materials, and the nature of in-home wiring can all affect the performance and satisfaction level of a home network. Wi-Fi technology is a shared medium, so the more devices on the network, the less bandwidth available. A Wi-Fi-based network may not reach every room in the home, and signals will not go through walls. It is also prone to interference from a neighbor's network. Products using power line technology are easy to use and outlets are found in every room. However, power line is prone to interference from everyday household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, and DECT phones. It is not ideal for HD or ultra HD content distribution, and it can be affected by the condition and age of the wiring. Ethernet (Cat5/6) is a viable option and provides the performance and reliability of MoCA. However, Ethernet is not pre-installed in every home like coax, and every time there is an upgrade to the specification, a new category of wiring is required. Unlike MoCA, which is a "no new wires" technology, Ethernet requires new wiring every time. By integrating both Wi-Fi and MoCA technology, users can enjoy the benefits of both technologies, providing maximum performance and satisfaction for their home network.
