Broadcom Launches BCM96519 For Carrier Transport Network

A new multi-line digital subscriber line (DSL) terminal solution has been launched by Broadcom. The Irvine, California-headquartered company has announced the availability of BCM96519 to customers in the Ethernet-based wireless and wired backhauling application domain. Compared to copper-based transport and backhaul systems, the new solution is expected to increase the throughput of Ethernet connectivity over copper by almost 10-fold, touching speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

With mobile services now moving towards high throughput-demand apps such as mobile TV, live video sharing and high-resolution 3D gaming, a high-tech backend solution was needed that can provide multi-megabit per second (Mbps) backhauling links that can support 3G and 4G base stations (also called Node Bs or BTSs or Base transceiver stations).

The BCM96519 solution has the capability to feed IP service routers and remote DSL access concentrators at a high data rate and with low complexity. This enables this solution to complement the existing product portfolios of vendors. The BCM96519 is compatible with co-located ADSL and VDSL2 loops, and does a better job, according to a company press release, than legacy E1/T1 and G.SHDSL technologies.
