Trends in Connectivity

Technology Value Proposition

•  No new wires. Uses existing coax. •  Coax is the best medium for HD video

•  Found in 90 percent of all US homes •  Prevalent in many European homes.

•  No interference with other technologies and mediums. •  Complementary to wireless. •  Technology also deployed as in home backbone extending wireless

capability. •  Independent field tests validating all claims regarding high performance

Value Proposition Drawbacks

Wireless (WiFi)

Mobility Reliability is a challenge Prone to interference Unlicensed band

Powerline (HomePlug)

Ubiquity of outlets Performance not on par with MoCA Prone to high interference Low outlet coverage performance

Phoneline (HomePNA)

Ubiquity of phone jacks Also works over coax

Performance can not match MoCA Does not work in cable modem environment No endorsement by US satellite providers Niche market (telco only) Technology deadends. No HPNA 4.0.

Coax (MoCA)

Proven performance and reliability In use by all three pay TV segments. MoCA 2.0 ratified

Reliant on coaxial outlet penetration

The Alternatives

MoCA 2.0

•  Two performance modes •  Baseline Mode

•  400+ Mbps MAC throughput •  700 Mbps PHY Rate

•  Single 100 MHz Channel •  Enhanced Mode •  800+ Mbps MAC throughput •  1.4 Gbps PHY Rate •  Two bonded 100 MHz Channels ( Channel Bonding ) •  Turbo mode for a point-to-point configuration that allows •  500+ Mbps MAC throughput between two connected devices when

operating in Baseline mode •  1+ Gbps MAC throughput when operating in Enhanced mode.

MoCA 2.0

•  Energy savings •  Sleep and standby power modes •  Address power consumption in entire network

•  Backward interoperable with MoCA 1.0/1.1 •  Protects investment in current equipment. •  No firmware or swap out necessary.

•  Enhanced reliability •  One error packet in 100 million •  3.5 ms latency

•  Expanded operating frequency from 500 – 1650 MHz

MoCA CH1 - ONT to BHR WAN traffic

MoCA CH2 - BHR to STB LAN traffic

Early Adopter: Verizon FiOS

Video… The Core Product for Telcos From Advanced Television, September 21, 2009:

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg says video, not voice, will be the core product over his expanding fibre network. He said he no longer worried about looking for the "inflection point" in the loss of access lines. "I don't care about that any more, I am going to focus on driving FiOS penetration and taking costs out," he said, adding that he felt "liberated". He said capital spending would fall in the next two years, and the company was shedding "non-strategic" rural units. He expected the FiOS network would stretch to 70 per cent of Verizon s fixed-line customer base. He said that with TV, the PC and the Internet converging, the carrier s future would be in selling video services, such as interactive TV, bundled with wireless voice. "So what I need to do is get ourselves focused around the following idea, that video is going to be the core product in the fixed line business. We are going to bundle it with wireless, we are going to integrate software over all the screens. http://www.advanced-television.com/2009/sep21_sep25.htm#t6
