InCoax frames their new technology that delivers 5 Gbps over coaxial cables as a lower‑disruption alternative for multi‑dwelling units (MDUs).

InCoax Networks said Tuesday it has developed a broadband access system that delivers 5 Gbps symmetrical speeds over existing coaxial wiring by aggregating two MoCA Access 2.5 channels into a single logical link.
The company’s new InCoax Access 5 Gbps package centers on the A5 network termination element (NTE) and an in:xtnd C254 control unit. InCoax says its patented Link Aggregation (LAG) control‑layer software solves synchronization, packet distribution, latency and stability issues that previously limited MoCA Access to 2.5 Gbps per channel.
The vendor reports sustained 5 Gbps throughput, reach up to 240 meters, Quality of Service controls, and backward compatibility with MoCA Access 2.5 networks. The system also supports remote configuration and integration with operators’ OSS/BSS systems.
InCoax frames the technology as a lower‑disruption alternative for multi‑dwelling units and other sites where replacing coax with fiber or upgrading to DOCSIS 4.0 would be costly. The company has made the solution available for operator testing and published a whitepaper detailing the technical approach and business case.
The announcement highlights ongoing industry efforts to extend multi‑gigabit broadband without wholesale infrastructure replacement, though independent field trials will be needed to confirm performance, interoperability and operational costs at scale.
