InCoax's MoCA Access Technology Recognized at Network X Awards
LUND, Sweden — A significant achievement was marked when the Wireline-Wireless Convergence work area recognized the innovative capabilities of InCoax technology at the prestigious Network X Awards. The platform's multi-tenant 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solution, which utilizes existing in-building coaxial networks with MoCA Access technology, has been named the "FWA Solution of the Year".
This honor celebrates a groundbreaking architecture allowing multiple apartments within a multi-dwelling unit (MDU) to share a single, high-capacity 5G mmWave connection. By utilizing the already installed coaxial cabling, this approach not only delivers reliable broadband service but also ensures quick installation with minimal disruption for residents and property owners alike. Importantly, the same architecture accommodates future upgrades, enabling fiber connections when available without the need for complex rewiring.
Fast and Efficient Broadband Services for MDUs
During the event, a live demonstration of multi-gigabit speeds over a 5G mmWave mobile link was showcased at the Broadband Forum booth. This architecture’s strength lies in its ability to enhance existing operating functions within 5G and fixed wireline networks while eliminating the necessity for new protocol or feature development.
Helge Tiainen, Business Development Director at InCoax, shared insights on the technology's impact: "Multi-tenant FWA is a pragmatic way to deliver gigabit broadband to existing MDUs without rewiring. By using the coax that's already in place, our MoCA Access platform enables operators to enhance both fiber access and FWA with exceptional performance and faster returns on revenue."
Collaboration for Enhanced Broadband Deployment
Craig Thomas, CEO of Broadband Forum (BBF), emphasized the significance of collaborative efforts. He stated, "Collaboration across the Broadband Forum ecosystem has made this demonstration possible. This initiative illustrates how a high-capacity 5G link combined with in-building distribution via MoCA Access can accelerate deployment and provide reliable, cost-efficient broadband solutions to more residents than ever before."
Benefits for Service Providers and Property Owners
InCoax's innovative solutions bring substantial benefits:
- Rapid market readiness - Quickly activate gigabit-class services without the need for new fiber installation within the building.
- Cost efficiency - By reusing existing coaxial infrastructure, both capital and operational expenditures are minimized.
- Tenant-friendly installation - Minimal construction and disruption within apartments and common areas.
- Enhanced manageability - A standards-based architecture developed with the Broadband Forum provides carrier-grade control.
- Future-proof flexibility - Start with a 5G solution and transition to fiber whenever it becomes available, without altering the in-building setup.
Especially in scenarios where middle-mile fiber may be unavailable or delayed, the multi-tenant FWA architecture becomes advantageous. Providers can swiftly activate services through 5G backhaul to a property while distributing capacity into the building using the existing coaxial networks equipped with InCoax MoCA Access. Once fiber becomes accessible, the same coaxial infrastructure can seamlessly incorporate it, maintaining the performance capabilities and management systems.
This effective approach not only accelerates service availability for residents awaiting fiber but also establishes an enduring solution capable of delivering multi-gigabit services with predictable performance, security, and ease of remote management.
