Broadcom to Introduce GPON Integrated Access Device Semiconductors in China
Posted on: Sunday, 21 June 2009, 16:00 CDT
Broadcom's GPON Portfolio Will Enable Chinese Service Providers to Offer Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) Solutions that Drive Higher Bandwidth Services with Low Overall System Cost
With unparalleled levels of integration and increased throughput performance, Broadcom's GPON products will offer Chinese telecommunications carriers high performance and feature-rich passive optical network (PON) capabilities that are built on years of Broadcom's experience in the Chinese broadband access market.
The GPON specification is based on the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.984 GPON recommendation that offers Chinese carriers a global standard for PON deployments, with economies of scale built on interoperability and driven by deployments around the world. GPON further offers network timing that is compatible with existing time division multiplexing (TDM) voice networks in carrier infrastructures that allows carriers to transition existing TDM traffic to a more cost effective network, resulting in a greater revenue return on legacy services with corresponding declines in operating costs.
"Broadcom is pleased to provide our Chinese customers with a reliable and cost effective, stable, long term source of GPON silicon," said
The Broadcom BCM6800 family of GPON solutions are comprised of Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) products spanning Gigabit bridges through full IAD capabilities. When used with Broadcom's leading ADSL2+, VDSL2 and Gigabit Ethernet products, they comprise a complete FTTN or Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) portfolio for remote nodes and multi-dwelling units.
Broadcom will begin production of these GPON devices later this year and is actively supporting customer designs today.
