Centillium Communications unveiled its full line of optical access solutions for the FTTP market. The portfolio is initially comprised of four product families:
- The COLT Optical Line Termination (OLT) family of mixed-signal EPON protocol processors for the CO. The processor solution combines a bridge, SerDes/burst mode CDR, CAM and MIPS CPU core into a single, SoC solution for OLT applications. COLT resides in a line card at the service provider's central office and directs the traffic to multiple ONUs.
- The Mustang Optical Network Unit (ONU) family of mixed-signal EPON protocol processors for CPE. Designed to operate at the customer premises, Centillium's first-generation optical CPE solution, the Mustang 100 is an integrated, mixed-signal protocol processor that offers a complementary set of features to Centillium's COLT processor or any other IEEE 802.3ah standards-compliant, third-party OLT processor. Mustang 100 includes a bridge, SerDes/CDR, SRAM and a MIPS CPU core into a single, SoC solution for ONU applications.
- The Unicorn Broadband Service Processor Family for home gateways. The family's first offering, Unicorn 100 combines a network processor, a DSP voice engine and IP Security with a host of physical interfaces to support VoIP, VPNs and even 802.11a/b/g wireless networking via an additional PCMCIA card.
- The Zeus Transceiver family, which is designed to control bi-directional burst-mode traffic on a fiber cable on both the CO and CPE sides in both EPON and BPON applications. Consisting of a transceiver chip on the CO side and a transceiver chip on the CPE side, the Zeus family complies with IEEE 802.3ah, ITU-T 983 and SFF-8472 specifications for optical transceivers.
Products are scheduled to begin sampling in Q3. http://www.centillium.com
