MaxLinear secures strategic IP licenses for MoCA and connectivity technologies

CARLSBAD, USA: MaxLinear Inc., a leading provider of integrated radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communication applications, has made a substantial investment to expand its TAM by securing IP and software related to connectivity technologies, including the acquisition of MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) Physical Layer IP and Connectivity related software IP licenses.

“The investment in these technologies represents exciting progress in MaxLinear’s TAM expansion effort into new communications platforms. In addition, it expands our footprint on Broadband platforms where we have already established a strong presence,” said Kishore Seendripu, chairman and CEO of MaxLinear.

The MoCA standard enables the distribution of high quality digital multimedia content throughout the home over existing coaxial cable, enabling subscribers to securely access, store and share a wide array of digital media content, including HD programs, video-on-demand, HD DVR recordings, Internet content, video, music, photos and voice over IP.

“Adding MoCA functionality to MaxLinear’s established footprint in DSP-Enhanced front-end solutions represents a unique opportunity to create significant power and die-size benefits for our Gateway and Set-Top Box customers,” said Patrick Tierney, senior director of Product Line Marketing of MaxLinear.
