2 The Organization Established in January 2004 by the most respected service providers, OEMs, CE vendors and chip suppliers in the digital entertainment distribution value chain. 100 certified products (STBs, Internet TV adapters, ONTs, gateways, routers, et al) 60 members Only home entertainment networking and connectivity standard in deployment by all three pay TV segments cable, satellite and IPTV/telco worldwide. More than 50 million nodes in the field. Liaisons with US CableLabs and Korean CableLabs. Liaison with HomePlug Powerline Alliance. Incorporated into DLNA s Interoperability Guidelines. Included in IEEE P1905 and 802.AS standard Proud member of CEDIA.

4 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 and high reliability. Only home entertainment networking standard to publish field tests. Available at

5 The Alternatives Wireless (WiFi) Value Proposition Mobility Drawbacks 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) Coax (MoCA) Ubiquity of phone jacks Also works over coax Proven performance and reliability In use by all three pay TV segments. MoCA 2.0 ratified 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. Reliant on coaxial outlet penetration

6 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.

7 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 MHz

9 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.
