Boston, MA 06/04/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM) is a leading company in offering semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications. Keeping its fire alive in the field of innovation, it finally has come up with a family of 10 Gigabit multiport Ethernet switches. This new system-on-chip (SoC) family is designed in such a way that it offers increased performance in the connectivity and that too at very lower power consumption. When this SoC family is paired with the market’s leading PHYs, it makes possible the generation of cost effective SMB switches which are used to aggregate the uplinks or are used to connect 802.11 ac Wave 2 access points.
What is so special about SoC design?
The design combines 1G, 2.5G and 10G performance and includes flexible input/outputs so that the user experiences a better control plane and data plane connectivity. Today bandwidth demand is growing at an exceptional pace, and the network equipment managers and service providers are constantly looking at technologies that can satisfy their need and that too at a low cost. And this is where Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM) is sure to get an edge and of-course by its innovation of SoC family it has stirred in an intense competition.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Switching being rapidly used in the market
10 Gigabit Ethernet switching not only increases the speed of Ethernet to 10 Gbps but also decreases the latency of Layer 2 interconnectivity. This is the main reason that 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switching is deployed so much today. Some of the features of SoC family includes 10 Gbps speed, advanced layer 2 features and functionalities, lower power consumption and diverse and flexible I/O configuration. And due to these features, this new SoC family is best suited for embedded control plane, unmanaged and WebSmart switch applications and backplane. Since this new Broadcom switch needs lower power consumption it is also ideal for areas like SMB 10G aggregation switching, 802.11ac access point switching and high-capacity embedded Layer 2 connectivity.
