Custom Retailer February 2011.
The Custom Installation market, which includes Home Theater installation, is changing the focus from new home builds, which have slowed significantly, and on to retrofitting existing homes with the latest digital entertainment systems. However, few homes have existing CAT-6 cabling which makes MoCA an ideal solution for quickly and inexpensively adding new Ethernet ports to rooms that need them.
Mike Ehlenberger from Actiontec Electronics outlines the advantages of using MoCA for customer installers including the ability to finish more jobs in a lot less time than running CAT-6, speed and reliability of the home network, and compatibility with existing cable and satellite networks in the home.
This article also gives a great overview of the basics of MoCA technology for anyone interested in installing a wired home network for digital entertainment.
