Equipped with a built-in wireless access point, the WECB MoCA Bridge also allows users to wiresslessly stream photos, video and files directly to their connected devices, including laptops, smartphones and tablets. In addition, both the WECB Wireless MoCA bridge and ECB MoCA bridge use separate frequencies to tramsit data and will not interrupt TV transmission. "Comitted to providing cable operators with industry-leading home networking equipment, D-Link's latest offerings are designed to meet the growing demand for a strong and reliable Internet network at every spot within the home," said Eli Gavra, senior vice president, Service Provider Business Unit, D-Link Systems, Inc. "By using a home's existing cable wiring, D-Link's new Wireless MoCA bridge and MoCA bridge offer wired and wireless Internet access in rooms where a single gateway router cannot reach - allowing customers to seamlessly stream HD videos, photos and more to the furthest corners of a home."
