DSL Terminal Solution targets Ethernet-based applications.
Press Release Summary:
Leveraging multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2, vectoring, and channel bonding technologies, Model BCM96519 optimizes capacity of Ethernet connectivity over copper, with rates approaching 1 Gbps. Multi-line DSL terminal is based on BCM6519 octal digital transceiver and BCM6529 dual analog front end companion chip. Solution provides wireless service providers with upgrades to multi-Mbps backhauling links supporting 3G and 4G base stations, or Node Bs to accelerate introduction of mobile broadband services.
Original Press Release:
Broadcom's New Multi-Line DSL Terminal Solution Increases Throughput of Carrier Transport Networks
Integrated Multi-Line Design Provides Carriers and Service Providers with the Most Economical Solution for Backhauling and Higher Bandwidth Business Applications
IRVINE, Calif., -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced a new chipset, production-ready reference design platform and associated firmware that is targeted for Ethernet-based wireless and wired backhauling applications, as well as Ethernet-based business applications that require higher bandwidth. The new Broadcom® BCM96519, the industry's first and most compact multi-line digital subscriber line (DSL) terminal solution, leverages Broadcom's high performance multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2, vectoring and channel bonding technologies. Compared to existing copper-based transport and backhaul systems in the market today, the BCM96519 significantly increases the capacity of Ethernet connectivity over copper, almost 10-fold, with rates approaching 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) speed.
Highlights/Key Facts:
-- Complements system vendors' product portfolios by offering a high data rate, low complexity and scalable copper-based transport solution to feed IP service routers and remote DSL access concentrators. This enables carriers and service providers to re-use their existing copper infrastructure to reach remote and less dense subscriber clusters.
-- Easily connects to Broadcom's widely deployed BladeRunner(TM) family of high performance DSL central office and Fiber-to-the-Node, Fiber-to-the-Curb or Fiber-to-the-Building chipsets. This creates new revenue opportunities for telecommunications service providers, enabling them to add higher bandwidth services to wireless and wired networks in growing consumer and small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) applications.
-- Provides better spectral compatibility with co-located ADSL and VDSL2 loops when compared to legacy E1/T1 or G.SHDSL technologies, and in turn, provides better overall connectivity rates and capacity for a given cable binder.
-- Is integrated and standards-based, providing a small footprint design that reduces bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and eliminates the need for legacy or proprietary technologies.
-- For basic service provider requirements, the BCM96519 supports ITU-T standard compliant 992.3 ADSL2, 992.5 ADSL2+ and 993.2 VDSL2 protocols with additional support for 998.1 ATM bonding and 998.2 PTM bonding, up to 8 lines.
-- To increase capacity, the BCM96519 supports ITU-T G.998.4 compliant physical layer retransmission and G.993.5 vectored VDSL.
-- For carrier grade voice transmission and other timing sensitive applications to share the same backhaul links together with mobile broadband data and video transmission, the BCM96519 supports a high precision and innovative network timing recovery subsystem.
