InCoax Networks unveiled a system that delivers 5 Gbps symmetric speeds over existing coaxial cables by aggregating two MoCA Access 2.5 channels into a single logical link.
The 5 Gbps package centers on the A5 network termination element (NTE) and an in:xtnd C254 control unit, with Link Aggregation (LAG) software addressing synchronization, packet distribution, latency and stability issues that previously limited MoCA Access to 2.5 Gbps per channel.
Through sustained performance, the vendor reports 5 Gbps throughput, reach up to 240 meters, Quality of Service controls, and backward compatibility with MoCA Access 2.5 networks; it also supports remote configuration and integration with operators’ OSS/BSS.
The company frames the technology as a lower-disruption alternative for MDUs and other sites where replacing coax with fiber or upgrading to DOCSIS 4.0 would be costly. It has published a whitepaper detailing the technical approach and business case and has made the solution available for operator testing.
Industry observers say independent field trials will be needed to confirm interoperability and operating costs at scale, but InCoax’s approach aligns with broader efforts to extend multi‑gigabit broadband without wholesale infrastructure replacement.
