Abstract: A modem configured to operate in a Multimedia over Coax Alliance, MoCA, access network is provided. The modem comprises a combiner having a coaxial interface for connection to a coaxial cable network and at least two frequency-separated southbound interfaces, SBIs; at least two MoCA chips, wherein each MoCA chip is configured to operate a MoCA access link and comprises a MoCA northbound interface, NBI, connected to one each of said SBIs of the combiner, and a data SBI; a link aggregation switch having at least two switchports connected to one each of the data SBIs, and a port to a data communication interface for connection to a client device for communication at a client data rate; wherein the MoCA chips are configured to operate separate MoCA access links at different MoCA access frequency bands over the coaxial cable network.

Abstract: Method for synchronization of a MoCA network including a plurality of MoCA node devices (n0-n4) interconnected through a coaxial network. The method includes transmitting a reference signal from a first node device onto the coaxial network. The method further includes receiving a loopback signal from a further node device through the coaxial network, determining a time delay value (di,j) based on a time lapse (Ti,j) between transmitting the reference signal and receiving the loopback signal, and sending the time delay value to said further node device.

Abstract: A multi-band WLAN antenna device, comprising a layer of conductive material forming a planar ground plane, having a first side edge in which a first cutout is formed, having an indented cutout edge and first and second connecting edges. A first antenna structure is formed in the cutout, comprising a first member projecting from the first connecting edge and extending parallel to the indented cutout edge. The antenna structure also includes a second member having a first part projecting from a feed point at the indented cutout edge, extending through the first member, and a second part connected to the first part and extending parallel to the first member away from the first connecting edge.

Abstract: A system for providing data communication over a MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) network in a construction complex, the system comprising a coaxial network; a network management device connectable to an external data channel, the network management device comprising a connector structured to be connected to the coaxial network; and a control unit having a first MoCA chip, wherein the control unit is configured to establish an access function, creating a control channel over the coaxial network to one or more MoCA end devices; and at least one MoCA end device connected to the coaxial network, wherein the at least one MoCA end device has a second MoCA chip and a network access unit connected to a bus on the second MoCA chip.
