Broadcom’s BCM63138 high-performance device with G.fast for home gateways complements the new BCM65200/900 central office (CO) family of SoCs and further extends Broadcom’s broadband carrier access portfolio, including ADSL/VDSL/Vectoring, Gigabit Ethernet and enhanced LTE. Broadcom is showcasing its end-to-end DSL solutions at Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam.
The BCM63138 also supports Gigabit dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi, multiport Gigabit Ethernet and multiline VoIP, allowing residential customers to experience the highest LAN data rates throughout the entire home. Utilising a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor plus additional offload engines and dedicated routing accelerator, Broadcom’s BCM63138 maximises the capabilities offered by high-end Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) devices such as home gateways.
The device also fulfills a growing residential customer demand for high-end Networked Attached Storage (NAS) with support for high performance NAS and hard drive connectivity and extends the deployment longevity of CPE equipment.
