DESCRIPTION

Octalica develops leading-edge digital home entertainment networking products that allow consumers to enjoy an IP-based, high definition TV experience throughout the home. Its first entry into this emerging market is a solution, both H/W and S/W, which utilizes the existing coaxial infrastructure in the home adhering to MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) specifications. The Octalica team has world-class competencies in the design and implementation of complex, cost effective System-on-a-Chip (SoC) products, focused on coax infrastructure and also including expertise in xDSL and Wi-Fi technologies.

TECHNOLOGY

Home Networking

The company’s IP and core technology is centered on the ingredients required to operate broadband RF transmission systems over coax. Special emphasis is given to cost effective operation in non-ideal, passive, structured cable plant over short distances (up to 5000 meters). Core technologies include: 1. Provision of low cost, robust, two-way broadband communications in the presence of high levels of noise.
2. The need for wide dynamic signal ranges.
3. Flexible digital frequency assignment for both upstream and downstream,
between 1-108MHz.
4. Low power consumption to allow using the solutions in various applications
that are remotely fed or that have battery backup.
5. Increase of frequency efficiency through:
• Utilization of guard band and FM spectrum and other unused
frequency spectrums for Broadband delivery.
• Use of 1-16MHz-frequency range (generally unused due to prohibitive
noise levels).
