Mode # HCB1000
A
ctiontec Electronics,the leader in home and small business
networking, delivers yet another technological
breakthrough with its newest innovation: the Ethernet
to Coax HPNA Adapter (HCB1000). The HCB1000 is designed
to connect between two distinct and discrete networking
types: standard (and ubitquitous) 10/100BaseT Ethernet, and
coax cabling, the new and emerging method to pipe
multimedia into today’s homes and offices. By bridging these
two environments, the HCB1000 enables the distribution of
rich digital content in buildings and homes driven by emerging
applications and/or devices from telco service providers, such
as multi-room PTV DVRs (digital video recorders).
The Next Gene ation Today
As homes and offices become increasingly equipped with
multiple, high-definition network streams, and DVRs continue
to penetrate the commercial PTV market, the need for
increased bandwidth within the home and office is becoming
critical. The wired network is no longer simply a series of
pathways to transfer small files or share applications; there is
now a real need for high-performance P networking that can
deliver huge multimedia files at high rates of speed with no
dropouts. Which is where the HCB1000 comes in. Supporting
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network configurations
while transmitting data according to the HPNA 3.1-over-coax
specification, the HCB1000 is robust enough to handle any
transfer loads you can throw its way. t’s also optimized to provide
high-speed delivery of video and Vo P (Voice of nternet
Protocol) data with little or no packet loss.
Easy to Install, Ha d to Outpe fo m
With its ease-of-use, simple and seamless integration, and
endless possibilities for network expansion over existing
cabling configurations,the HCB1000 is perfect for condominiums,
apartment buildings, multi-firm office buildings, hotels,
resorts, convention centers, or any location requiring the latest
in high-speed nternet connections and high-bandwidth
networks, without the trouble and high cost of infrastructure
modifications. Designed for tomorrow’s networking needs
today, the HCB1000 opens up residential and small-office
networking like no other product before it.
