NDS is engaged in a number of service provider projects featuring MoCA including the middleware and user experience in Liberty Global’s planned Multimedia Home Gateway and Cox Communication’s next generation HD EPG.

“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.

“NDS’ decision to join MoCA underlines how important in-home networking is becoming for service providers. NDS’ membership represents a significant first for MoCA: it is the first conditional acces1s and middleware vendor to join the alliance,” said Charles Cerino, MoCA president.”

MoCA is the worldwide standard for home entertainment networking and the only standard in deployment in all three pay TV segments (cable, satellite and telco/IPTV). MoCA is included in the DLNA stack and the IEEE 802.1AS standard.
