COLOGNE, Germany, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ANGA COM –
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in
semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today announced the world's first DOCSIS 3.1 cable set-top box
(STB) reference design. Broadcom's BCM93390VMS52 provides global
cable system operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
with a powerful all-in-one cable subscriber experience that
combines data delivery at speeds of up to five Gigabits per second
(Gbps), support for 4K/Ultra HD video decoding and multi-Gigabit
Wi-Fi home networking. For more news, visit Broadcom's
Newsroom.
"Competition among service providers is driving an increase in
Gigabit Internet speeds and 4K IP video around the world. Broadcom
is bringing to market an extraordinary set-top box reference design
that gives service providers a platform to enable the best
connectivity performance available today," said John H. Gleiter, Broadcom Vice President of
Marketing, Broadband & Connectivity Group. "With Broadcom's
latest platform, service providers and OEMs can immediately begin
to leverage the value of DOCSIS 3.1 to provide their customers with
market-leading Gigabit broadband data speeds, the highest-speed
dual concurrent 4x4 Wi-Fi for streaming Internet content to
wireless devices and Ultra HD cable TV experiences."
Engineered to support the new era in Gigabit data and improve
the spectral efficiencies of current networks, the DOCSIS 3.1
specification enables higher-order modulations in existing hybrid
fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks without changes to the existing cable
plant. By combining low-density parity check-based Forward Error
Correction (FEC) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) technology, DOCSIS 3.1 allows operators to more efficiently
pack more data into the existing spectrum.
