BroadLight, a supplier of GPON semiconductors and software, announced that its BL2348 GPON residential gateway device and Ralink’s RT3062 300 Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi solution will now be available as an integrated solution.
The companies’ new integrated reference design will offer a high-performance, cost-optimized residential gateway solution that has the capability to bring next generation “triple play” voice, video and data services to homes via a combined GPON plus Wi-Fi network.
According to BroadLight, the new BL2348 provides the performance, integration and functions for the new breed of cost-effective broadband residential gateway customer premise equipment connecting the high-speed digital home to FTTH services and can bring cost effective and performance features to the fiber connected home.
Ralink has stated that their RT3062 single chip is highly integrated with MAC/BBP, and operates at 2.4 GHz RF. It fully complies with IEEE (News - Alert) 802.11n and IEEE 802.11 b/g and features rich wireless connectivity at high standards, and deliver reliable, cost-effective throughput from an extended distance.
BroadLight officials said that the combination of Ralink (News - Alert) and BroadLight technologies creates a compelling solution for customers and enables them to quickly bring to market wireless-enabled GPON home gateways. 802.11n Wi-Fi is an essential technology for residential gateways enabling wireless distribution of new high-speed services such as multimedia in the broadband connected home, and the company is confident that Ralink’s 802.11n solutions provide a superior wireless networking experience for the lowest cost.
Ralink Vice President Cashew Chen said that 802.11n is “the clear choice” for wirelessly distributing media content and services throughout the digital home. GPON significantly increases broadband performance on the LAN, driving the need for similarly robust wireless capabilities. New home gateways based on BroadLight’s GPON combined with Ralink RT3062 Wi-Fi can deliver the performance and reliability that consumers demand when streaming media and latency-sensitive content.
