Abstract

The Multimedia-over-Coax Alliance (MoCA^®) standard is rapidly emerging as the de-facto standard for multimedia home networking. This is driven by the desire to have digital content from various sources such as DVRs, audio devices and PCs reliably available anywhere in the home using the in-home existing coaxial cable wiring. The MoCA technology coexists with other services on the coax such as cable TV, cable modem, and satellite services. This enables it to be used also as a last-mile access technology to effectively and cost efficiently use the existing coax cabling for bringing high speed IP services into the home, GigaCoax^®.
