Broadcom Delivers First 10G EPON Residential Gateway for Cable MSOs

DOCSIS-Compatible Offering Ready for Residential Deployments

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."
