Komplet GPON systemchip
Lantiq er klar med komplet GPON systemchip, der baner vej for kompakte SFP-moduler med fuld optisk netværksfunktionalitet (in english).
Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, has introduced the FALC ON-S, a complete GPON Optical Network Unit (ONU) system-on-chip in a compact 11 x 11 mm package.
Thanks to its small size, high integration and unique power saving features, FALC ON-S is a leading edge solution for Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules with fully integrated GPON Optical Network Unit functionality. The chipset enables a simple upgrade to GPON backhauling for a variety of broadband access systems like MDUs and WAN-agnostic gateways.
FALC ON-S’s small form factor and very low power consumption that exceeds the European Code of Conduct requirements for years 2013 and 2014 also make it an ideal solution for the emerging small cell wireless architectures.
Dirk Wieberneit, Lantiq Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Business Unit explains:
- With continued expansion of fiber networks worldwide and the accelerating transition from EPON to GPON to provide better performance and QoS, broadband access vendors offering equipment with SFP connectivity can easily upgrade to GPON now. The innovations delivered by FALC ON-S enable our customers to maintain technology leadership in the high growth market of FTTx deployments.
FALC ON-S highlights and benefits:
• Industry’s first fully standard-compliant GPON SoC with integrated laser driver and limiting amplifier; the integration of key optical components and control circuitry optimizes board space and reduces total system’s Bill of Material (BOM) cost.
• Package size of 11 x 11 mm enables a complete GPON ONU in a SFP form factor.
• Direct control of on-chip laser driver, including idle mode, significantly reduces power consumption.
• Built-in hardware based Rogue ONU management for reliable isolation of disturbing ONUs and efficient protection of data services.
• Applications supported include:
o Compact MDU cabinets in both pure fiber and mixed fiber/xDSL configurations
o Fiber backhaul of cellular base stations including small cells
o Customer premise equipment (CPE) with SFP socket, providing the flexibility to use one home gateway design to support FTTH, xDSL or other network technologies
