MoCA 2.0 Certification Gets Underway - 800 Mbps over Coax

Certification testing for products implementing the MoCA 2.0 specification is now underway by National Technical Systems in Culver City, California.

MoCA 2.0 offers two performance modes of 400 Mbps and 800 Mbps net throughputs (MAC rate), respectively.  The MoCA 2.0 spec supports packet error rates (PER) as low as one in 100 million with a nominal latency of 3.6ms.  In addition, standby and sleep modes are included in the specification to help with overall power management in the network.

MoCA 2.0 Golden Nodes, for testing of interoperability, are available from both Broadcom and Entropic.
