Broadcom Drives 10G Fiber Broadband with Industry’s Highest Density PON OLT MAC
October 14 2019 - 8:00AM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the availability of
its BCM68650 family of optical line termination (OLT) PON MAC
devices. With up to sixteen XGS-PON, NGPON-2, or 10GEPON
interfaces, the BCM68650 offers broadband equipment suppliers an
ideal platform to build new 10G OLT systems with exceptional
density and power efficiency. Designed to support deployments based
on all recent 10G PON standards, the BCM68650 becomes the first
commercially available merchant silicon solution optimized for the
highest density 10G PON OLT’s.
As telecom operators look to deploy 10G PON technology to bring
higher bandwidth broadband services to homes and businesses, having
a solution that matches the density of existing GPON deployments is
key to driving mass market adoption of 10G PON. The BCM68650
supports up to 16 10G PON interfaces suited for high density OLT
line cards. Coupled with a power-efficient architecture, the high
integration of the device minimizes OLT power consumption and
operating expenses. And to ensure flexibility for incremental 10G
deployments, the BCM68650 also supports the coexistence of 1G,
2.5G, and 10G PON networks served from a common OLT trunk fiber.
With these capabilities, system vendors can now design an optimized
solution for virtually any 10G PON requirement.
Also shipping with the BCM68650 is Broadcom’s latest OLT line
card development suite, the Broadband Adaptation Layer™ (BAL). This
comprehensive environment provides a simple, standards-based
programming interface and data model of the PON network, greatly
simplifying the OLT software architecture. By architecting BAL
around standardized data models, the BCM68650 also functions as a
key building block for the new class of open ‘white-box’ OLT
solutions, offering operators yet another competitive OLT
alternative.
With a combination of density, power efficiency, and rich
software environment, the BCM68650 is ideally suited to accelerate
the rollout of 10G PON broadband services.
BCM68650 Product Highlights
- Up to 16 ports of XGS-PON, NG-PON2 or 10G EPON interfaces
- Extensive support for multi-PON co-existence allowing operators
to seamlessly introduce 10G PON on top of their existing PON
services
- Comprehensive line card software development environment via
the Broadband Adaptation Layer, speeding time to market with a
ready-built OLT management interface
Seungdong Lee, chief technology officer of DASAN Zhone
Solutions, Inc., commented, “We are excited with the release of the
BCM68650 family, in our view an optimal platform for XGSPON/NGPON2
mass deployment. The BCM68650, with its combination of versatility,
performance and scale, will be a critical element in the long-term
development of our industry-leading 10G PON solutions.”
“The BCM68650 showcases Broadcom’s industry-leading commitment
to investment in the newest fiber broadband infrastructure. With
its unequaled capability to deliver the density that OLT operators
require, along with an open and comprehensive software development
environment, we expect the BCM68650 will make a dramatic impact in
the appeal of near-term deployment in 10G fiber broadband,” said
Greg Fischer, senior vice president and general manager of the
Broadband Carrier Access Products Division at Broadcom.
