MoCA 2.0 ratified
June 17, 2010
MoCA, the worldwide standard for home entertainment networking, has ratified its next-generation specification, MoCA 2.0.
MoCA 2.0 offers two performance modes, Basic and Enhanced, with 400 Mbps and 800 Mbps net throughputs (MAC), using 700 Mbps and 1.4 Gbps PHY rates, respectively. For point-to-point WAN applications, performance can be optimized for two node networks with Basic mode delivering 500 Mbps net throughput (MAC) and Enhanced mode providing 1 Gbps net throughput.
The new specification also features an expanded operating frequency range to serve an even broader array of use cases and two network wide, low power-saving modes. Essential to the specification is its full backward interoperability with MoCA 1.1/1.0, enabling operators to capitalize on their MoCA investment and future proof their networks to deliver the next level in high performance and highly reliable home networking.
