Satellite device provides support for up to 32 resident STBs
To address consumer demand for satellite services with support for North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, Broadcom has expanded its OutDoor Unit (ODU) portfolio to include the BCM4554, a low-power satellite device. Providing support for up to 32 resident STBs on a single coaxial cable within a multiple dwelling unit, the device enables operators to deliver additional services to more subscribers without requiring new satellite dish installations.
By assigning more channels to a single STB, the device also allows operators to improve services such as faster channel changing. The BCM4554, which enables direct sampling of low-noise block outputs, consumes less power than the previous generation chipset while offering a higher level of integration. By allowing 32 DVB-S2 channels to be stacked on a single coaxial cable, the device simplifies satellite operator installation and reduces costs.
"Broadcom's addition to our low-power ODU portfolio allows operators to increase the availability of satellite services in single homes and multiple dwelling units across the globe," commented Nicholas Dunn, Vice President of Marketing, Broadband & Connectivity Group, Broadcom. "The BCM4554 enables operators to streamline the cabling, hardware and installation costs associated with supporting multiple STBs and ultimately simplify satellite distribution to their customers."
