Broadcom inc. announces the availability of its bcm68650 family of optical line termination pon mac devices

Broadcom inc. announced the availability of its bcm68650 family of optical line termination (olt) pon mac devices. with up to sixteen xgs-pon, ngpon-2, or 10gepon interfaces, the bcm68650 offers broadband equipment suppliers an ideal platform to build new 10g olt systems with exceptional density and power efficiency. designed to support deployments based on all recent 10g pon standards, the bcm68650 becomes the first commercially available merchant silicon solution optimized for the highest density 10g pon olt’s. as telecom operators look to deploy 10g pon technology to bring higher bandwidth broadband services to homes and businesses, having a solution that matches the density of existing gpon deployments is key to driving mass market adoption of 10g pon. the bcm68650 supports up to 16 10g pon interfaces suited for high density olt line cards. coupled with a power-efficient architecture, the high integration of the device minimizes olt power consumption and operating expenses. and to ensure flexibility for incremental 10g deployments, the bcm68650 also supports the coexistence of 1g, 2.5g, and 10g pon networks served from a common olt trunk fiber. with these capabilities, system vendors can now design an optimized solution for virtually any 10g pon requirement. also shipping with the bcm68650 is broadcom’s latest olt line card development suite, the broadband adaptation layer™ (bal). this comprehensive environment provides a simple, standards-based programming interface and data model of the pon network, greatly simplifying the olt software architecture. by architecting bal around standardized data models, the bcm68650 also functions as a key building block for the new class of open ‘white-box’ olt solutions, offering operators yet another competitive olt alternative.
