Broadcom unveils BCM85620 system-on-a-chip


Oct 25, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Broadcom Corporation, a provider of semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, has unveiled the BCM85620 system-on-a-chip, its latest 4G/LTE microwave backhaul solution.

The BCM85620 combines a baseband modem and network processor in one chip. It combines the functionality of up to ten application-specific standard parts (ASSPs) into one system-on-a-chip (SoC). With enhanced radio performance and advanced networking capabilities, the BCM85620 provides radio-optimized traffic delivery, including clock delivery over packet transport needed for network synchronization. Coupled with 1.25Gbps throughput, the BCM85620 enables wireless backhaul systems to support the requirements of 4G/LTE networks, the company said.



The key features include: Packet fragmentation and header compression combined with ACM-aware traffic management enables radio-optimized networking; Adaptive code and modulation (ACM) technology automatically provisions bandwidth; phase noise tolerance; synchronization over packet network - SyncE and 1588 support over ACM and protection switching; low latency for 4G networks; and integrated carrier grade network processor.

Dan Charash, Senior Director & General Manager, Microwave, Broadcom Corporation, said: "The transition to 4G and LTE networks continues to drive the need for higher capacity and packet traffic in mobile backhaul networks. With the industry's highest level of integration and Gigabit and beyond performance, the BCM85620 allows system vendors to seamlessly and cost effectively migrate existing networks to 4G/LTE. The introduction of our latest innovation within just six months of acquiring Provigent is a testament to Broadcom's ability to successfully integrate acquired technologies and rapidly introduce next generation products." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
