Vitesse G-RocX(TM) SoC Enables CyberTAN to Deliver Industry's First Production-Level Home-Gateways for the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Market
The VSC7501 Device Is Optimized for Gigabit EPON Residential
Gateway Designs Needing Carrier-class Services
TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--
To deliver the industry's first production-level EPON FTTH
Residential Gateway, CyberTAN, a leading Taiwanese original design
manufacturer (ODM) of broadband networking equipment, is using Vitesse
Semiconductor Corporation's (Pink Sheets: VTSS) G-RocX Gigabit Router
system-on-a-chip (SoC). Vitesse has simplified the ODM's development
effort by providing the industry's most highly optimized solution that
integrates a central processing unit (CPU) with Gigabit Ethernet
switch and voltage-mode PHY technology into a single chip. The
low-power SoC provides the performance needed to support triple-play
networking service while simultaneously lowering overall bill of
material (BOM) costs.
Vitesse's G-RocX VSC7501 provides Gigabit LAN connectivity,
including Gigabit Ethernet system performance and Quality of Service
(QoS) technology, for Home Residential Gateways. This allows CyberTAN
to quickly develop its family of high-performance gateways that meet
the carrier-class video, data and voice delivery requirements of the
FTTH market.
Vitesse is the first IC provider to achieve integration of a
full-featured, six port Gigabit Ethernet switch with a
high-performance router engine. The device includes triple speed
10/100/1000 Mbps copper PHY ports, line-side termination resistors, a
router engine with a custom Hardware Network Address Translation
(HNAT), a UART, two USB 2.0 interfaces, and a PCI port. The enhanced
triple play experience is delivered through a Gigabit Ethernet WAN
port. This connection provides optimal bandwidth to the home network,
thus improving the quality of time-sensitive applications running in
parallel, such as the concurrent delivery of Voice over IP (VoIP),
data services, IPTV, HDTV, Video on Demand (VoD) and online gaming
applications.
The custom HNAT, which offloads packet header extraction, SIP,
ARP, and session table search, enables full Gigabit per second line
rate routing. This high-performance router engine architecture
significantly offloads software drivers and accelerates the delivery
of wired and wireless Ethernet packets. G-RocX delivers a highly
integrated SoC at less than 3 Watts enabling the removal of heat
dissipating fans and the use of less expensive plastic housings
further contributing to a lower system BOM.
"Service providers today are looking for ways to capture lucrative
revenue opportunities from triple play services. Vitesse's highly
integrated G-RocX host CPU architecture provides our ODM customers
with a feature-rich, cost-optimized solution that meets Carrier
residential gateway needs," said Brian Jaroszewski, senior product
marketing manager at Vitesse.
