BEIJING, March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CCBN
2015 -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global
innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today introduced a complete high-speed coaxial
cable solution with new access technology for Chinese subscribers
in multi-dwelling units (MDUs). The new BCM63500 and BCM63333
devices integrate the China HomePlug AV 1.0 (C-HPAV 1.0) standard
endorsed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television
(SARFT), the Chinese government agency overseeing broadcasting in
the region, to provide operators with an economical solution for
broadband services over cable. For more news, visit Broadcom's
Newsroom.
The new chipset will allow Chinese cable operators to extend
broadband services to home subscribers outside of China's major coastal cities, particularly in
densely-populated apartment buildings. The integrated C-HPAV 1.0
standard complements Broadcom's existing C-DOCSIS technology by
addressing different bandwidth and subscriber density levels than
are required for C-DOCSIS deployments. Broadcom will showcase
its latest innovations at CCBN in Beijing, March
26-28.
"Broadcom has delivered a solution that allows cable operators
in China to provide services to a
previously underserved segment of the MDU market," said
Ernie Bahm, Broadcom Senior Director
of Cable Head-end Product Marketing. "The new Broadcom C-HPAV 1.0
solution provides our customers with access technology that allows
them to take advantage of the large installed base of coax to
support multiple MDU markets throughout the region."
"We are pleased with Broadcom's C-HPAV 1.0 solution, which
allows us to expand our offerings to a broader footprint of
subscribers in our network," said Liang
Dong, Henan Cable Network Co., Ltd Technical Director.
"Cost-effective and standards-compliant cable broadband modems will
allow us to address the growing MDU market in 2015 and beyond
without any interoperability issues."
"With new cable modems integrating the C-HPAV 1.0 standard,
Kingtype Group now has a more complete portfolio to address the
needs of consumers in China," said
Mr. Yu Bo, Kingtype Group VP &
CTO. "Broadcom's latest chipset design allows us to build new
solutions for cable customers in densely populated areas."
Broadcom's BCM63500 master chip contains TDMA media access
control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) functions, and is located in
a fiber termination point in the basement or just outside of an MDU
building. The BCM63500 can support up to 64 BCM63333 C-HPAV 1.0
client modems, which are in subscriber's homes.
