Technetix' Ethernet-To-Coax Network Adapter, Using Entropic
  Communications' MoCA(R) Silicon, To Be Available for European Service
                                Providers




AMSTERDAM, Sept. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (IBC2011; Stand 3.A41) --
Entropic Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of
silicon and software solutions to enable connected home entertainment,
is proud to announce European designer and manufacturer of leading
technology solutions, Technetix, will bring the first ever push-on
Ethernet-to-Coax Network Adapter (TECB-D01), powered by Entropic's
MoCA(R) (Multimedia over Coax)-based silicon solution, to the European
market.

Adoption of MoCA as the leading home networking backbone topology
continues to gain traction. In the U.S., MoCA is currently being
deployed by service providers representing nearly 70 percent of the 100
million pay-TV homes. The opportunity in Europe is beginning to take
hold as consumer demands evolve for services such as broadband
extension for every room in the house, shared planning of high
definition (HD) content, or multi-room digital video recording
(MR-DVR), and greater interest to supporting multiple streams of HD
video throughout the home.

The Technetix TECB-D01 is a single port Ethernet to coax adapter
powered by Entropic's leading MoCA-based silicon and software. The
device is unique in that it provides a straightforward plug-and-play
installation onto an existing home coaxial wall socket to create a
high-speed, whole-home entertainment backbone. By leveraging MoCA as
the basis for the home network, consumers gain the most reliable home
entertainment experience, and service providers can offer enough
capacity and support for streaming high volumes of whole-home HD
multimedia content.

"The European market has high demand for technology solutions that can
improve the performance and ease the installation of in-home
entertainment networks," said Jan Ariesen, vice president, Development
Engineering, Technetix. "Our TECB-D01, based on Entropic's leading MoCA
silicon, leverages their global successes as seen from U.S. service
providers and demonstrates the highest quality capabilities required to
deliver the most robust and dependable in-home video and content
distribution system."

"Partnering with Technetix is a significant win for Entropic and the
MoCA standard, as it strongly positions MoCA to be the network backbone
technology for achieving greater penetration and expansion throughout
Europe," said Vinay Gokhale, senior vice president, Marketing and
Business Development, Entropic Communications. "We see that European
consumers want to deploy more HD streaming services -- from shared
planning to over-the-top video -- throughout the home, but to gain the
best viewing experience, they need bandwidth characteristics that only
a MoCA network can provide.

With the availability of the TECB-D01 MoCA-based network adapter,
European service providers gain an opportunity to offer more advanced,
high-bandwidth IP streaming services that leverage the extremely
reliable, high throughput connection that is offered by Entropic's MoCA
1.1 technology. Additionally, as service providers rollout MoCA 2.0,
the next-generation of the standard, the TECB-D01 will be fully
interoperable with new MoCA 2.0 investments, allowing for the seamless
deployment of new operator services.

The sister product to the TECB-D01, the Technetix TECB-01 MoCA network
adapter, was awarded 'Best Connected Home Communications Hub' at the
Connected Home Global Summit 2011 earlier this year. Both devices will
go into trials with leading European service providers in 2011, and
will be showcased during IBC2011 at the Entropic Stand A41-Hall 3,
September 9-13, 2011, at the RAI Amsterdam.
