New Products Support DOCSIS3.1 Routers, Media
Gateways and Set-top Boxes with Potential Broadband Networking
Speeds of Up to 10 Gbps
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today unveiled its suite of 75 ohm low noise amplifiers and
high performance switches supporting higher data rates across
broadband networking platforms in the connected home. As more
devices become connected within the home, consumers are demanding
reliable, high-speed, wide area network connections to carry data,
voice, video and multimedia content simultaneously. Skyworks’
newest solutions support DOCSIS 3.1 standards, which enable speeds
of 1 Gbps on existing hybrid fiber coaxial networks and up to 10
Gbps on next generation systems. According to a recent news
article, as of March 2015, the top ten states in the U.S. with the
highest networks speeds averaged internet speeds of just over 40
Mbps.
“With consumers demanding ever increasing data rates for audio
and video streaming, web browsing and other wireless networking
applications within the home, there is a need for high performance
analog solutions supporting broadband platforms that can
significantly add capacity and lay the groundwork for future
increases in download speeds,” said John O’Neill, vice president of
broad markets for Skyworks. “Skyworks’ newest products meet these
demanding requirements and further demonstrate our ability to
deliver innovative, system level solutions. By partnering with
OEMs, Skyworks is able to offer consumers some of the world's
fastest networking speeds and Wi-Fi connections within the
connected home and across the Internet of Things, enhancing the
user experience.”
According to a May 2015 Visual Networking Index Forecast by
Cisco®, broadband speeds will more than double by 2019. By 2019,
global fixed broadband speeds will reach 42.5 Mbps,
up from 20.3 Mbps in 2014. Skyworks’ suite of solutions is
enabling devices that support these higher data rate speeds.
