MTI DODECA LNBF With Entropic's Channel Stacking Switch Wins the 2009 Taiwan Excellence Award
SAN DIEGO, May 19, 2009 -- Entropic Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of silicon solutions to enable connected home entertainment, today announced that the award winning MTI DODECA Low Noise Block Feedhorn (LNBF) featuring Entropic's Channel Stacking Switch (CSS) has received the prestigious 2009 Taiwan Excellence Award. This is the second award for the DODECA LNBF, having received the "2008 Innovation Product Award" from the Hsinchu Science Park Administration in December 2008.
Channel Stacking Switch Technology Drives Innovation
MTI's 12-Channel One Cable LNBF (DODECA) is one of the most advanced LNBF designs in the world and was awarded the 2009 Taiwan Excellence Award in April 2009. The Taiwan Excellence Award is known as the most prestigious award in Asia given to products that reflect R&D Innovation, Design Innovation, Quality Systems and Marketing.
The most innovative feature of the DODECA LNBF, the ability to support up to 12 tuners at the same time, is enabled by Entropic's Channel Stacking Switch technology. The DODECA LNBF was designed primarily for smaller multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications, where a single LNBF can provide support for the entire building.
"Entropic's Channel Stacking Switch provides the key enabling technology that MTI's design team leveraged to deliver a solution to the market that provides installers and end-customers a user friendly interface and cost effective, one cable solution," said Allen Yen, president and CEO at MTI. "We look forward to continuing our relationship with Entropic to meet the needs of our customers and bring more innovation to the satellite market."
Benefits of Channel Stacking Switch Technology
Entropic's CSS technology can support up to 12 tuners over a single cable, which significantly reduces both the cost and the cabling complexity of single family and MDU satellite installations. Unlike traditional satellite installations, which require a unique cable for each tuner from the satellite dish to the set-top box, Entropic's CSS chipsets enable multiple video streams from individual or multiple satellites into the home over a single cable. This simplified cabling architecture enables the deployment of set-top boxes, with multiple tuner capabilities, in multiple rooms without expensive installation or retrofitting. Additionally, CSS technology enables plug and play for set-top box upgrades and allows installers to reuse existing cabling to quickly set up a DBS system.
"We are gratified that our CSS technology is recognized for differentiating and adding value to MTI's product designs," said Vinay Gokhale, senior vice president, marketing and business development at Entropic Communications. "We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the design and marketing teams at MTI to deliver innovative solutions to serve the satellite market."
