  • What is MoCA technology?
    MoCA technology is a network protocol that enables the distribution of content over the existing in-home coaxial TV cabling network. This network is commonly used for transmitting television signals. MoCA technology ensures reliable packet delivery to their destination, which is crucial for seamless content streaming and communication between devices. Its primary function is to guarantee delivery of packets to their destination, ensuring that users can enjoy high-quality, uninterrupted entertainment and communication experiences.
  • What problem does MoCA technology solve and how does it make the home network better?
    MoCA technology provides a reliable backbone for wireless connectivity in the home, ensuring that devices have a consistent and strong connection. As consumers bring more devices into the home, a wire is required to guarantee the wireless network. Despite improvements in Wi-Fi technology, live content streaming, gaming, virtual reality, and UHD format programming all strain even the most robust wireless network. MoCA technology's high performance and reliability lower the overall cost of managing the network or total cost of ownership. This is important for both operators and consumers as guaranteed network performance and content delivery reduces the need for continuous equipment upgrades and eliminates downtime from non-performing networks. For operators, a well-performing network is crucial as customer complaints mean they are not receiving services for which they have paid. The operator is then obligated to send a technician to fix the problem, which adds to the overall cost of network management.

For consumers, a well-functioning network also eliminates downtime from inability to access the internet, providing them with a seamless and uninterrupted online experience.
  • 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.
  • What is the bandwidth for simultaneous up/down transmission?
    MoCA technology allows for a maximum of 16 devices on one network. All devices share the 2.5G bandwidth to transfer data between them. The up/down transmission cannot be easily determined as devices communicate bidirectionally. For example, if you connect two devices directly, you can achieve a two-way throughput of up to 1Gbps during testing. MoCA technology enables devices to transfer data in both directions, providing a fast and reliable network for a range of applications. It is important to consider the number of devices on the network and the type of data being transferred when evaluating the performance of a MoCA network.
  • Does MoCA technology work on any type of coax?
    MoCA technology operates on the same coaxial network used for television signal transmission. If your location receives a TV signal, you can use MoCA technology. This allows for a simple and convenient installation process, as the existing coaxial infrastructure can be used to provide a fast and reliable network.
