Broadcom launched 10G EPON optical network unit chip

 Dumbo Reuters (Sun Hui / text) launch triple play is driving the outbreak of the PON market in support of IPTV, TV-on-demand bandwidth of 10G EPON higher chain has also been substantial progress, flying 10G EPON as the network was informed that the first optical network unit ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) chip is now available.

10G EPON chain ripe

2009   9  , IEEE promulgated the 10G EPON standard, as in the standard setting process, the chip manufacturers, optical component manufacturers have started to develop 10G EPON chips and optical modules, it has just issued the standard, manufacturers have released standards-compliant products, systems, equipment manufacturers are also introduced in 2010 10G EPON OLT and ONU for the pilot project.

chips, like the network learned to fly, has recently launched Broadcom 10G EPON optical network unit (ONU) single-chip system solutions BCM55030. In fact, a year ago, Broadcom, PMC, Cortina, Hisilicon and other chip manufacturers had launched the 10G EPON and FPGA simulation program has been applied, but the ASIC solution for the Broadcom 10G EPON is still first.

Up to now, 10G EPON standard awarded only one short year's time, but the development of situation from all sides, 10G EPON of the industry chain has been basically mature.

China is expected to take the lead in starting 10G EPON

10G EPON development for Broadcom operators in Asia Pacific Market Development Manager Jay Teborek Dumbo network in an interview that from the current and the Large operators view, 10G EPON will be in China, Japan, Korea and the United States launched the first four countries.

Jay Teborek predicted that China will become the world's first deployment of 10G EPON for FTTB country. In addition, the U.S. cable operators have also begun testing 10G EPON business services.

Some analysts report predicts that from 2009 to 2014 compound annual growth rate worldwide PON market will reach 22.5%, in 2014, the global PON market revenues will reach 51 billion, including sales of 10G EPON equipment is expected to reach 10 billion U.S. dollars.

the layout of domestic operators PON strategy

in the country, the three operators have also launched the strategic plan of 10G EPON.

2009  9 months, just issued in the near future 10G EPON standard, China Telecom to launch a chip-level 10G EPON interoperability testing. Test results show that the chip can achieve a good 10G EPON interoperability. China Mobile and China Unicom also organized 10G EPON system equipment testing, test results show that the standard of 10G EPON equipment required to complete the function.

In addition, the operators 10G EPON also conducted small-scale commercial, domestic 10G EPON has opened dozens of pilot projects.

It is understood that, taking into account the development of 10G EPON for China the importance of Broadcom's BCM55030 addition to the integration of switching and storage capabilities, the same time adding a number of operators to comply with the requirements of the Chinese technology.

time synchronization.

take into account the EPON network currently in use mainly for 1GEPON, BCM55030 supports 10GEPON and 1GEPON coexistence, and also supports 10G/10G symmetric and asymmetric mode 10G/1G.
