802.11ax radio, adding to its Max WiFi family of broadband gateway,
repeater, and mobile silicon devices
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the availability of
the industry’s first broadband SoC with integrated Wi-Fi 6
technology. The BCM63178 combines ADSL, 35b VDSL, and Wi-Fi 6
into a single integrated solution, enabling telecom service
providers to effectively deploy copper services coupled with the
benefits of 802.11ax in a single, cost-effective platform.
With high-performance CPU, Gigabit Ethernet routing,
next-generation broadband access, and WiFi 6, BCM63178 provides a
path for service providers to spread broadband content throughout
the home.
Combined with a multi-core CPU complex for high
performance packet processing and offload, Gigabit Ethernet
switching and routing, and VoIP, the BCM63178 is architected to
efficiently scale from single-band applications to the high-speed
demands of dual-band Wi-Fi home networking with Broadcom’s BCM43684
Wi-Fi 6 WLAN chipset. Complementing the BCM63178 silicon is
an advanced, secure, container-based software architecture
consistent with Broadcom’s DSL and PON CPE silicon offerings.
“Combining both xDSL and Wi-Fi 6 technology into
a single device enables service providers to deploy a future-proof
CPE product as the Wi-Fi 6 market matures,” said Greg Fischer,
senior vice president and general manager, Broadband Carrier
Access, Broadcom. “Further, the advanced software offered with the
BCM63178 along with its processing capability enables secure,
modern containerized software architectures for increased longevity
and product reliability as new applications are downloaded to
Broadcom-based gateways.”
Broadcom’s 802.11ax implementation provides
users with an improved wireless experience based on
state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6 technology recently introduced by the
Wi-Fi Alliance. Broadcom’s new platforms are designed to facilitate
whole home coverage, WFA EasyMesh™ capable gateways and repeaters,
reliable video over Wi-Fi performance, as well as faster download
and upload speeds, higher capacity, better coverage, and longer
battery life afforded by Wi-Fi 6.
The Broadcom BCM63178 family of devices is
sampling today.
