Parks Sees Potential For Wired Supplements To Wi-Fi

May 11, 2015

Almost 40 percent of all U.S broadband households with a Wi-Fi network have experienced or currently experience Wi-Fi problems, and a majority of them would be willing to use existing coaxial cables or power lines to carry network traffic and improve network performance, a Parks Associates survey contends.

The survey was commissioned by the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), which promotes technology that sends network traffic over a home’s coaxial cables.

Among households experiencing problems, 87 percent have experienced slow connections or dead zones, and 63 percent continue to experience these problems despite efforts to fix them, Parks said. That means 15 million households experience dead zones or slow wireless connections despite upgrading their Internet service or getting new equipment such as a router, Parks said.
