Broadcom Introduces DOCSIS EoC for EPON

Broadcom introduced a customized DOCSIS Ethernet over Coax (EoC) for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) solution in support of China's Next Generation Broadcast (NGB) initiative. The highly integrated DOCSIS EoC for EPON solution that will allow Chinese cable operators to take advantage of the benefits of DOCSIS while providing an economical architecture for implementing triple play services to MDUs throughout the country.


The Broadcom DOCSIS EoC for EPON solution is a family of products, includingCMC, DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 cable modem and STB system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions, that are designed to transition DOCSIS customer premises equipment (CPE) from the MDU coaxial network to the EPON fiber network. The solution features Broadcom's TurboQAM technology that supports downstream speeds up to 400 Mbps, which is a 25 percent improvement, and upstream speeds up to 160 Mbps, which is a 33 percent improvement over downstream and upstream speeds in support of the DOCSIS 3.0 standard.


The solution also provides advanced ingress and impulse noise mitigation technologies for S-CDMA (synchronous code division multiple access) transmission mode. Broadcom's S-CDMA Ingress Noise Cancellation or SINC technology allows operators to maximize use of the reverse path bandwidth for DOCSIS EoC applications for delivering fast, reliable and interactive services.
