TI Launches New Version of Data and Video Gateway Product
Posted on: Friday, 12 September 2008, 18:00 CDT
Texas Instruments, a global semiconductor company, has launched version 3.0 of its Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification data and video gateway product that supports eight downstream channels of DOCSIS and digital video supporting frequency anywhere within the spectrum.
Based on a flexible and scalable architecture, Texas Instruments (TI) Puma 5 Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.0 cable products enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop products that provide an efficient migration path to future IP-based services. Over the longer term, as cable operators shift strategies and begin to offer more IP-based services, such as IP Television, the Puma 5 cable modem and gateways in the field can be dynamically re-configured, designating additional channels as DOCSIS 3.0 data channels to support IPTV.
The newest member of TI's Puma 5 family of DOCSIS 3.0 products, the Tnetc4840, allows cable equipment manufacturers to enable advanced video applications by increasing the number of channels available to accept DOCSIS and legacy digital video.
TI's eight downstream and four upstream (8x4) Puma 5 development package provides cable equipment manufacturers with an open architecture to meet the growing market demand for next-generation multimedia offerings such as IPTV. TI's flexible analog front end enables OEMs to deploy universal service gateways ranging from low-end systems supporting up to 200 MHz of DOCSIS 'capture bandwidth' to high-end full spectrum coverage.
TI's DOCSIS 3.0 portfolio of Puma 5 chipsets provides OEMs with the ability to easily scale upwards to 8x4 channel bonding configurations necessary for multi-channel video applications. The platform's simple re-configurability allows operators to deploy the DOCSIS 3.0 capabilities of the Puma 5 family today, while allowing them to cost-effectively upgrade their service offerings to meet the market demand for compelling multimedia services like IPTV in the future.
