NDS joins MoCA

NDS has become the first conditional access and middleware vendor to join the Multimedia-over-Coax Alliance (MoCA), which provides specifications for home networking over in-home coax.

NDS is engaged in various projects featuring MoCA. It is responsible for the middleware and user experience in Liberty Global’s planned multimedia home gateway, which includes MoCA technology. The company is also a professional services and integration partner of MoCA board member Cox Communications and was the prime integrator for its next-generation HD EPG, which included the implementation of Cox’s MoCA-based multi-room DVR solution as part of the service.
 

“A significant number of our service provider customers are looking at rolling out whole-home entertainment networking solutions so now is the right time to join MoCA. The home network will likely be a blend of different wired and wireless networking technologies, and MoCA technology is a proven wired contender,” said Jesper Knutsson, vice-president and general manager of sales, NDS, Americas.
