New single-chip broadband integrated access device solution for triple play services

Broadcom has introduced the BCM6362, a new single chip broadband integrated access device (IAD) that packs ADSL2+, 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN), Gigabit Ethernet switching, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), voice over IP (VoIP) and high-end residential gateways. This IAD solution offers a single device that delivers a fast Internet connection, robust DECT/DECT6.0/CAT-iq and Wi-Fi connectivity to support triple play services (voice, video and data).

Other key features of BCM6362 are,

VDSL2/ADSL2+ transceiver and AFE with a high-performance multicore MIPS32 CPU, ATM/PTM hardware SAR, hardware packet-processing accelerator
Gigabit Ethernet switch core with four 10/100 Ethernet PHYs and dual GMII interfaces, dual USB Host/Device, multichannel TDM/PCM bus, parallel expansion bus supporting CardBus, and mini-PCI into a single high-performance monolithic device
2x2 802.11n core, which offers best-in-class range and throughput to support the video, voice and data services that broadband providers are offering to subscribers
WLAN subsystem includes Accelerange technology
2x2 802.11n radio supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation
High performance 400 MHz dual core processor architecture, hardware-assisted wirespeed bridging and routing, hardware assisted IPsec security for virtual private network (VPN) termination, gigabit switching, and support for USB 2.0 host and devices
CAT-iq DECT core for HD voice, multi-line cordless VoIP and internet connectivity

"The highly integrated BCM6362 ADSL2+ and 802.11n wireless LAN solution reaffirms that Broadcom is at the forefront of broadband system-on-chip integration technology, enabling our customers to deliver customer premise equipment with the best combination of performance available today," said Greg Fischer, Vice President & General Manager of Broadcom's Carrier Access line of business. "In turn, our customers can rapidly develop cost effective, low power system-level solutions for the ADSL+ Wi-Fi market."
