Lantiq, a supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, has added three single-chip Gigabit Ethernet gateway offerings that to its XWAY xRX family.
The company said that its new GRX series meets the Gigabit processing requirements of DOCSIS3.0, VDSL2 and xPON access technologies and provides best-in-class performance for wireless connectivity, such as concurrent operation of 802.11n WLAN at 2.4 and 5 GHz with aggregate throughput up to 270 Mbps (Megabits per second).
The new XWAY GRX168, GRX188 and GRX288 ICs feature a 32-bit MIPS CPU core and separate 32-bit Protocol Processor Engine (PPE).
With the GRX series, system developers can produce platforms that support new home network services deployed on an independent gateway device or delivered independently from typical broadband services.
Each IC also feature a suite of device interfaces for memory (DRAM and FLASH), PCI, SDIO and UARTs in support of differentiated applications and end products.
Lantiq senior vice president and head of the Customer Premises Equipment Business Unit Ulrich Huewels said that the GRX family provides full flexibility for their customers to design a range of offerings while controlling R&D spending.
