MoCA amendment enhances apartment broadband
June 4, 2025
The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) has announced a new, amendment to its MoCA Access 2.5 standard, Enhanced Quality of Service (eQoS) Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Management. The amendment is designed to address escalating demand for reliable, high-performance broadband in Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). This amendment lets Fibre and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Service Providers deliver superior customer experiences with optimised network utilisation.
The MoCA Access 2.5 eQoS amendment introduces sophisticated and granular control over network traffic prioritisation, management, and delivery in MDU environments. It provides better dynamic bandwidth management and controlled latency, which are crucial for ensures residents receive adequate speeds, even during peak usage times and supports latency-sensitive applications. MoCA Access 2.5 with eQoS is an essential upgrade for service providers using MoCA Access 2.5 as a broadband extension technology.
“This development underscores the Alliance’s unwavering commitment to advancing technology standards that meet the evolving needs of the industry and our vision for ubiquitous, high-quality broadband access,” said Marcos Martínez, President at MoCA and Director of Standards Engineering at MaxLinear. ” MoCA Access 2.5 eQoS is a critical feature that directly supports the growing demand for reliable broadband extension deployments, significantly enhancing service providers’ ability to deliver exceptional connectivity.”
Helge Tiainen, Chair of the MoCA Access Technical Work Group at MoCA and Business Development Director at InCoax Networks, added: “The MoCA Access 2.5 eQoS amendment represents an important milestone. It will foster wider deployments of MoCA Access by providing service providers with better control over the quality of service they can offer their customers and enhance overall infrastructure capacity within MDUs. This translates directly into more reliable and consistent service for residents, ultimately reducing operational costs and enabling superior customer experiences.”
The MoCA Access 2.5 eQoS specification will be available to MoCA members at no cost, with anticipated completion of the amendment by the summer.
