BEIJING, March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CCBN
2015 -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global
innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today announced a new cost efficient, small
form-factor DOCSIS® 3.0 set-top box (STB) engineered for the
growing cable market in China. The
new offering is designed to deliver more advanced features to cable
subscribers in the region, including over-the-top (OTT) video
content, broadband data services, and both wired and/wireless home
networks. For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.
Broadcom's new cable STB design includes DOCSIS 3.0
capabilities, AVS+ decoding support for high definition (HD)
content and is TVOS-compatible. These new features support
increasing bandwidth transmission requirements for new subscriber
applications and cable services on China's C-DOCSIS network, and provide
operators with easy-to-install equipment for home subscribers.
Broadcom will demonstrate its DOCSIS 3.0 cable STB platform at CCBN
in Beijing, March 26-28.
"Broadcom's small form-factor cable set-top box design reduces
system cost and complexity, ultimately lowering development and
deployment costs for China cable
operators while increasing value-added services to home
subscribers," said Rich Nelson,
Broadcom Senior Vice President, Marketing, Broadband &
Connectivity Group. "With integrated DOCSIS 3.0, our new device
enables advanced IP-based home networking for consumers to receive
enhanced voice, data and video services across multiple devices in
the home, and improves security features."
The ultra-compact DOCSIS 3.0 cable STB platform combines
Broadcom's BCM7250 STB system-on-a-chip (SoC) integrated with
Mobile High-Definition (MHL) 2.0 and the BCM3383, a DOCSIS 3.0
cable modem SoC.
