RDK software support accelerates cable gateway development
Broadcom’s portfolio of DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 silicon now supports an open source software stack, which was developed in collaboration with Comcast and will serve as the foundation for a new version of the RDK for broadband devices. The combined technology will enable cable multi-system operators to accelerate services for subscriber's home gateways, including customised parental controls and firewall protection.
Featuring downstream Full-Band Capture, upstream diagnostic analysis and extensive hardware acceleration for WiFi and tunnel throughput, the support for the broadband software stack is engineered for compatibility.
"Leveraging our successful integration of RDK into field-deployed cable video products, Broadcom is now expanding its support of our cable gateway silicon for next-gen of cable gateway products," said Jay Kirchoff, Vice President of Cable Modem Marketing, Broadcom. "By combining our proven DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 silicon with RDK software for broadband devices, Broadcom is helping to create even more flexible broadband equipment that allows operators to introduce new data services faster."
"As we look to expand our RDK from STBs to gateways, we are delighted to be working on integration with top technology providers such as Broadcom," commented Sree Kotay, Chief Software Architect, Comcast Cable. "With Broadcom's support, we can deliver expanded data services to our residential customers more quickly."
