In addition, the new devices support IEEE 802.1’s new Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards, designed to enable seamless delivery of time-sensitive multimedia traffic for both consumer and professional AV applications on an easy-to-configure Ethernet network. They also support the IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) standard, which enables synchronization of nodes across an Ethernet network to less than one microsecond.
This new family of devices is designed to provide cost- and energy-efficient solutions for the public and private cloud access markets, including wireless routers, gateways and enterprise network access, while expanding the capabilities of Ethernet to address the needs of media-centric applications in home cloud applications, such as set top boxes, digital video recorders, audio/video receivers and many more.
Key Facts:
AVB creates a connection-oriented, Ethernet-based network, providing time and bandwidth guarantees for multimedia content
Energy efficiency and high performance are key components for cost-effective, cloud-based services and proliferation of cloud networks
Space-saving and cost-optimized packaging with integrated voltage regulation reduces system costs
Devices are sampling now, with production quantities scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2011
