InCoax expands addressable market with Fiber Extension for faster fiber customer activation

Published

LUND, Sweden, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InCoax Networks AB today announces the launch of InCoax Fiber Extension, a new solution category developed to help fiber operators reduce installation complexity and accelerate customer activation in single-family homes and selected smaller apartment buildings. The launch addresses a growing need in the U.S. fiber market, where operators are increasingly focused on converting fiber passings into active customers in a faster, less intrusive and more cost-effective way.

According to the Fiber Broadband Association, U.S. fiber deployment reached a new record level in 2025, with 11.8 million new homes passed during the year and a total of 98.3 million FTTH passings when overlapping deployments are included. This means that the market is approaching 100 million FTTH passings and that fiber now passes more than 60 percent of U.S. households.

The broader U.S. housing market further highlights the scale of the opportunity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of housing units in the United States reached approximately 148 million in 2025, and NAHB estimates that owner-occupied single-family detached homes account for approximately 70 million homes. This creates a substantial market for solutions that make the final in-home step of fiber activation more efficient.

For fiber operators, the installation challenge increasingly moves inside the home or property. The most practical fiber entry point may be an outdoor cabinet, garage, basement or utility location, while the optimal position for the Residential Gateway is often elsewhere. By reusing existing point-to-point coaxial cabling, InCoax Fiber Extension enables operators to extend the fiber connection from the ONT location to a more suitable Residential Gateway location without new in-home fiber or Ethernet cabling.

“Fiber Extension opens a new and commercially important use case for InCoax technology. As fiber deployments scale, operators increasingly need to remove bottlenecks that slow down final installation and customer activation. By reusing infrastructure that is already in place, Fiber Extension helps operators reduce installation complexity, shorten time to revenue and improve the customer experience,” says Jakob Tobieson, CEO of InCoax Networks.

For InCoax, the launch expands the company’s addressable market with a new solution category that complements its existing Fiber Access Extension and FWA Extension offerings. The solution is based on InCoax Fiber Extenders using MoCA 2.5 technology and is primarily intended for single-family homes but can also be used in selected smaller MDUs. Two Fiber Extenders are paired over a point-to-point coaxial connection, creating an unmanaged bridge between the fiber termination point and the customer gateway. The InCoax Fiber Extender F2511 supports symmetrical data rates up to 2.5 Gbps, automatic code-based pairing and no management capabilities.

Fiber Extension differs from InCoax Fiber Access Extension and FWA Extension, which are managed access solutions for MDUs using an InCoax MoCA Access DPU, NTE modem and InCoax Manage for provisioning, monitoring and remote management. Fiber Extension, by contrast, does not require a DPU, NTE, EMS integration or subscriber profile management.

“This is a new application of MoCA technology. In Fiber Extension, MoCA is used to solve the in-home fiber installation challenge in single-family homes and selected point-to-point MDU environments. The operator keeps its existing fiber platform, while InCoax provides the missing link over the coaxial infrastructure already available in the property,” says Helge Tiainen, Business Development Director of InCoax Networks.

The InCoax Fiber Extender series also includes a Reverse Power Feed, RPF, version for scenarios where power at the fiber-side location may be limited or unavailable. The Fiber Extension solution is now available as part of InCoax’s portfolio for operators and partners. Brochure and product information on Fiber Extension (Use Cases) are available at incoax.com.

Late-breaking HRX data advance Field Medical’s “instantaneous ablation” workflow and expand the clinical evidence for high-voltage focal PFA with the FieldForce™ PFA System

ATLANTA and CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Field Medical, Inc., advancing high-voltage focal pulsed field ablation (PFA) for complex arrhythmias, today announced publication of 12-month results from the first-in-human Field PULSE trial in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. The findings were presented simultaneously as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial at HRX Live 2026.

Field Medical developed the FieldForce™ PFA System around a high-voltage focal PFA architecture designed first for the ventricle, where depth, stability and control are among the most difficult challenges in ablation. Field PULSE extends that work into the atrium and evaluates a subsecond point-by-point workflow Field Medical terms “instantaneous ablation.” In this study, the approach was associated with procedural efficiency, durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and flexibility beyond the pulmonary veins, without the need for prolonged catheter stability.

Key Findings:

Procedural efficiency with subsecond focal PFA: 13-minute median elapsed PVI ablation time, with a fastest time of 7.7 minutesDurable PVI with the optimized waveform: 94.2% per-vein durability reflecting progressive improvement with waveform evolutionFlexible focal ablation: 49% of patients received non-PV ablation for additional atrial targetsNo primary safety events were observed80% freedom from atrial arrhythmias at 12 months with the optimized waveform

“Field PULSE demonstrates the feasibility of truly instantaneous focal PFA,” said Vivek Reddy, M.D., co-principal investigator, lead author and electrophysiologist at Mount Sinai Health System. “Delivering the full application in less than 200 milliseconds reduces the need for prolonged catheter stability while preserving the flexibility of point-by-point ablation. The procedural efficiency, safety and pulmonary vein durability observed with the optimized waveform support continued clinical development of this approach.”

The publication builds on Field Medical’s peer-reviewed clinical work in ventricular tachycardia. Six-month outcomes from the company’s first-in-human VCAS trial were published in Circulation in 2025. Field PULSE now adds first-in-human, peer-reviewed atrial data evaluating the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture through a distinct focal workflow in a different cardiac substrate.

“We designed FieldForce to solve some of the hardest problems in focal cardiac ablation, beginning in the ventricle,” said Mark A. Turco, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Field Medical. “Field PULSE demonstrates that the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture can support an ‘instantaneous ablation’ workflow in the atrium. This growing body of evidence reinforces the range of the platform: depth and focal control in the ventricle, speed and precision in the atrium, and the versatility to address very different cardiac substrates through a familiar point-by-point approach. These results add important clinical evidence as we continue to advance our differentiated PFA platform.”

The study, “High-Voltage Focal PFA Catheter for ‘Instant’ Point-By-Point Ablation: The First-In-Human FIELD-PULSE Trial to Treat AF,” was published online in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology concurrent with the HRX presentation. DOI: 10.1016/j.jacep.2026.09.001.

About Field Medical®, Inc.
Field Medical is a clinical-stage medical technology company committed to advancing pulsed field ablation (PFA) solutions for complex cardiac arrhythmias. The company was founded by Steven Mickelsen, M.D., CTO, a pioneer and global thought leader in PFA whose work has helped shape the evolution of the field. The FieldForce PFA System integrates a focal catheter design with proprietary FieldBending™ energy designed to safely deliver efficient, precise ablation with the goal of improving outcomes in ventricular and atrial arrhythmia treatment. In 2024, Field Medical earned Breakthrough Device Designation and gained entry into the FDA TAP Pilot Program for its ventricular tachycardia indication. In October 2025, the VCAS trial was published in Circulation.
