KEYSTONE, Colo., Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CableLabs
Summer Conference
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader
in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today announced a DOCSIS-compatible 10G Ethernet Passive Optical
Network (EPON) residential gateway reference design. Broadcom's new
platform allows cable Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide
multi-Gigabit speeds for home subscribers' Video-on-Demand (VOD),
HD IPTV, Voice over IP (VoIP) and high-speed Internet via a
Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) solution. For more news, visit Broadcom's
Newsroom.
The new gateway platform combines Broadcom's BCM55030, a 10G/10G
EPON Optical Network Unit (ONU) system-on-a-chip (SoC), with the
widely deployed BCM33843 DOCSIS 3.0 cable gateway device.
Broadcom's new integrated gateway complements traditional
technologies, enabling MSOs to quickly provide multi-Gigabit speeds
to their subscribers without expensive upgrades to current
infrastructure.
Broadcom's 10G EPON gateway adheres to the preliminary CableLabs
DPoE 2.0 specification, which allows the PON gateway to look and
function like a traditional DOCSIS gateway. Built-in 10G symmetric
EPON WAN technology supports multi-Gigabit speeds, allowing
multiple FTTH subscribers to achieve 1G symmetric performance
simultaneously on a single PON.
"Operators are looking for the fastest and most efficient means
to provide subscribers with true Gigabit internet speeds," said
Jim McKeon, Senior Director of
Product Marketing, Broadcom. "Our new residential gateway design
enables cable MSOs to bridge a fiber network into their existing
DOCSIS infrastructure without costly network re-design."
Key Features of the BCM55030
- Delivers the industry's highest EPON ONU integration, including
a 10 Gbps media access controller, 10 Gbps EPON
serializers/deserializers and forward error correction, a four-port
Gigabit Ethernet switch, traffic management, and on-chip memory for
both CPU and packet buffers resulting in no external memory
components
- Complies with the IEEE 802.3av 10G EPON standard including
support for 10G/10G, 10G/1G and legacy 1G/1G EPON
- Supports Broadcom's 2.5G TURBO-EPON® in addition to both
standard 1G and 10G modes
Key Features of the BCM33843
- Delivers 16 downstream channels supporting DOCSIS and/or video
and four upstream channels
- Dedicated DOCSIS CPU supporting double the memory of prior
generations, a dedicated multi-threaded applications processor with
an over 400 percent increase in CPU power, and multiple hardware
offload engines
- Full-Band Capture (FBC) digital tuning technology and remote
diagnostics
- Digital tuning with advanced signal processing techniques
- Supports DOCSIS and digital video on any frequency, eliminating
limitations of block tuners
Availability
Broadcom's new 10G EPON residential gateway solution is
currently available from multiple manufacturers and will be
demonstrated at the CableLabs Summer Conference 2015 in
Keystone, Colorado.
