Broadcom Corporation unveiled its new ADSL2+ modem chip which includes a powerful microprocessor architecture which will take its services to the next level. This new microprocessor architecture is compatible with four lines of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), draft-802.11n wireless LAN, USB 2.0 host for printers, mass storage devices and multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2 services. Manufacturers will be able to develop high-end ADSL2+ routers and gateways and will also include wired and wireless voice, video and data connectivity features.
The new Broadcom BCM6358 has an ADSL2+ transceiver and analog front-end with Broadcom's VIPER MIPS32(R) CPU, a hardware ATM SAR, dual 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports, a USB 2.0 host and 1.1 device, a multi-channel TDM bus, and a 32-bit parallel expansion bus that supports CardBus, PCMCIA and mini-PCI.
It is therefore perfect for applications like ADSL2+ IAD with multi-channel VoIP, ADSL2+ gateway with VoIP and draft-802.11n and Multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2.
The BCM6358 is able to support downstream data rates up to 29 Mbps and upstream data rates up to 3 Mbps and four lines of VoIP. Other devices which is supported by the modem include USB 2.0, 10/100 Fast Ethernet, serial and mPCI ports support a wide range of connectivity options to personal computers, printers,storage, video devices, Ethernet switches and
Bluetooth(R) devices.
The BCM6358 supports powerful gateways, like Wi-Fi, DECT and VoIP, which are future proofed for the delivery of broadband services and this will surely contribute significantly to Broadcom's purses.
