InCoax Networks' Gigabit Over Coax Access Platform Transforms
   Blue Lake Communications' Network Into a Powerful Multimedia
      Services Delivery Platform--All Over the Existing Cable
                          Infrastructure

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Sept. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (IBC2011;
Stand 3.A41) -- InCoax Networks, a leading provider of equipment for
broadband access over existing in-building coaxial cables, and Entropic
Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of silicon and
software solutions to enable connected home entertainment, proudly
announce Finnish operator Blue Lake Communications (BLC) has deployed
the InCoax Gigabit over Coax Access (GoCA(TM)) technology. Focused on
giving European broadband service providers the opportunity to bring
cost-effective, high-performance connectivity to subscribers, the
solution offers high-speed broadband and future IPTV services to its
subscribers. The GoCA platform leverages Entropic's Ethernet-over-Coax
(EoC) solution, which is based on the widely-deployed MoCA(R)
(Multimedia over Coax Alliance) standard.

BLC is a part of the Finnish Finnet group of 29 local telecom
companies, and serves approximately 15,000 subscribers in the eastern
part of Finland, mainly in and around the city of Savonlinna.
Responding to Finnish government interest that by 2015 at least 98
percent of the population shall have access to 100 Mbps broadband, BLC
deployed the GoCA broadband access platform over existing coax networks
in apartment houses and buildings, to offer subscribers new premium
services, such as high speed Internet, IPTV, IP-telephony and
film-on-demand. The use of existing building infrastructure resulted in
faster deployment times, at a lower capital expenditure.

The InCoax GoCA platform delivers scalable "last kilometer" high-speed
broadband connectivity by leveraging Entropic's EoC technology, which
is derived from its field-proven MoCA silicon. The GoCA platform
consists of three products with a total capacity of up to 250 Mbps, 500
Mbps or 1000 Mbps serving different building sizes over the existing
coaxial network, while delivering 100 Mbps throughput to each
subscriber.

About Entropic's EoC

Entropic's EoC solution leverages its MoCA silicon, and is comprised of
its EN3011 Access Network Controller and the EN3230 access client
silicon. A single EoC solution provides over 250 Mbps of raw data
bandwidth yielding over 100 Mbps of application throughput and was
designed as a low-cost, easy-to-deploy solution using the existing
coaxial cable infrastructure already found in multi-dwelling units
(MDUs) and single family homes (SFH).

The system is scalable with a single network controller supporting up
to 63 clients, with rate control available on a per client basis. By
operating above the regular CATV signals and providing frequency
agility between 800 MHz and 1500 MHz, additional network controllers
can be added to support even more clients to the network.

  --  Seppo Hartikainen, ICT Business Director, Blue Lake Communications: "The
      InCoax GoCA solution, based on Entropic's powerful MoCA technology,
      raises our technical innovation and our ability to best service our
      subscribers with advanced whole-home multimedia services over the

      cost-effective in how we are approaching the deployment of our next
      generation network."

  --  Thomas Svensson, CEO, InCoax Networks: "Our technology is an ideal
      alternative to existing access technologies due to its high speed and
      ability to bring fiber to the coax in order to deliver multimedia
      content and IPTV services; which eliminates the need to drop costly new
      cabling. By integrating Entropic's EoC technology into our new GoCA
      platform we're able to meet European broadband access requirements in
      areas where fiber optic networks do not reach the customer premise."

  --  Vinay Gokhale, senior vice president, Marketing and Business
      Development, Entropic Communications: "By delivering operator-class
      robustness with unmatched bandwidth over the longest reach, our EoC
      solution is the performance benchmark for delivering high bandwidth
      applications such as multiple streams of high definition video, premium
      broadband data access tiers, IPTV, and two-way interactive applications.
      Working closely with InCoax Networks, we were able to satisfy BLC's
      bandwidth requirements and future-proof their ability to deliver
      IP-based premium services, enabling greater average revenue per user."
