Broadcom First to Enable Full-Duplex Multi-Gigabit Broadband over Copper Networks

New transmission method doubles utilization
of available spectrum
Broadcom Inc., (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the introduction of
the world’s first full-duplex modem implementation based on G.fast
technology. With telecom operators seeking a quick, cost-effective
path to gigabit broadband, full-duplex builds on the advantages of
G.fast for high-density residential environments. Rather than
installing fiber all the way to the customer premise, an expensive
and often impossible endeavor, an operator can bring fiber to the
basement of a residential unit and rely on the existing copper or
point-to-point coaxial cable plant for the final gigabit-speed
connection.
Full-duplex utilizes the entire frequency spectrum of G.fast
simultaneously in both the downstream and upstream communication
paths, effectively doubling the simplex capacity of G.fast.
Depending on the nature of an operator’s copper plant, this will
result in either a doubling of the peak bandwidth, or the maximum
distance from the distribution point to the customer premise, as
compared with the existing G.fast standard.
Broadcom’s full-duplex implementation is available today on the
production-released BCM65400 device family. The company is
working closely with the next-generation G.mgfast initiative within
the ITU to bring a fully-standardized full-duplex solution to the
broadband market, pending completion and ratification of the new
standard.
“We are excited to pioneer another innovative copper solution,
one that effectively doubles the performance of current G.fast,”
said Greg Fischer, senior vice president and general manager,
Broadband Carrier Access, Broadcom. “Full-duplex technology will
provide telecom operators with yet another option to leverage the
investment in their existing copper networks, with a competitive,
minimal capex multi-gigabit broadband service for many years to
come.”
Broadcom is showcasing G.fast-based full-duplex in the Broadcom
Booth MR10 Hall 22A this week at the Broadband World Forum 2018
exhibition in Berlin, Germany.
