ViXS(TM) Delivers Industry's Most Comprehensive Portfolio of Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA(R)) Solutions for the Connected Home

ViXS MoCA 2.0 and MoCA 1.1 portfolio includes competitive stand-alone
solutions as well as   integrated solutions embedded in ViXS' XCode
Network Media Processor System on Chip (SoC) devices targeting Consumer
Premise Equipment (CPE), Ethernet-over-Coax Bridge (ECB), Set-top Box
(STB) and Media Gateway Transcoding markets

TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - ViXS Systems Inc. today announces general
availability of its MoCA 2.0 solution.   The XConnex(TM) 1000 MoCA 2.0
Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and the XConnex 1030 MoCA 2.0
stand-alone Media Access Controller and Physical Layer (MAC/PHY)
integrated SoC introduces a highly integrated and cost effective market
solution. .   ViXS' MoCA 2.0 provides maximum throughput combined with
new low power management features incorporated in its MoCA 2.0 MAC/PHY
IC and innovative RF silicon design to exceed stringent low power
requirements. In addition, enhanced security features have been
developed for increased levels of content protection while maintaining
backwards compatibility and interoperability to existing MoCA 1.0 and
1.1 deployed network solutions.

ViXS' is a strong proponent of MoCA and recognise this as one of the
leading connected home networking technologies and has established a
record for bringing new MoCA innovations to market in the shortest
time. ViXS has led the industry with the following first time
innovations

        --  Introduced to the market industry's first Quad HD transcoder
            gateway SoC, the XCode(R) 5195, with integrated MoCA 1.1 in March
            2011
        --  Sampled the first stand-alone XConnex 1025 and the XConnex
            1020, MoCA 1.1 solutions, with integrated Ethernet physical
            layer interfaces (PHYs) combined with networking layer 3
            systems support in June 2011.  This innovation not only reduced
            the cost for these applications through high levels of
            integration but also allows for remote networking diagnostics,
            a function not currently supported.
        --  Set a new level of integration and cost point for MoCA radio
            frequency (RF) transceivers with the introduction of XConnex
            900 MoCA 1.1 RF Transceiver in January 2012.
        --  Introduced the first ARM processor based next generation
            gateway SoC, the XCode 6210,   with integrated MoCA 2.0 at IBC
            conference in September 2012.
        --  Introduce the most advance media gateway SoC, the XCode 6308,
            with integrated MoCA 2.0 at the IBC conference in September
            2012.  The XCode 6308 is the first and only gateway SoC capable
            of doing six HD- transcodes to address the market trend for
            video streaming to multiple screens within the home.
