A Broadband System on a Chip (SoC) refers to an integrated circuit that combines various components and functionalities required for broadband communication within a single chip.
These components typically include a central processing unit (CPU), memory, digital signal processors, networking interfaces, and specialized hardware for handling broadband communication protocols.
The purpose of a Broadband SoC is to provide a comprehensive solution for enabling high-speed data transmission over various types of broadband networks, such as cable, fiber-optic, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), and wireless connections.
The Global Broadband SoC market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
AIROHA Announced RDK-B Support for Broadband SoC to Help 1st Tier Operators Migrate from DOCSIS to Fiber.
MediaTek subsidiary Airoha Technology said that it had begun offering its clients a Broadband System-on-Chip (SOC) solution powered by RDK-B, an open-source platform that standardises important CPE operations.
In order to help operators transition to an all-fiber environment, AIROHA has assisted in setting up and developing Passive Optical Network (PON)-related technologies.
The RDK-B standard enables operators to keep using their current hardware and software, which are based on the DOCSIS interface standard and legacy coaxial cable standards.
This allows operators to maximise capital investments and utilise the level of service they are presently providing to customers.
The potential and difficulties that the European service provider business has encountered when converting to fibre have been thoroughly understood by AIROHA.
The firm is devoted to RDK-B as the ideal way for broadband operators to ensure a seamless transition from DOCSIS to fibre, and has made every effort to solve the pain points of its operator clients.
Numerous first-tier European broadband network operators have embraced AIROHA’s RDK-B GPON SoC solution, which has assisted them in successfully converting their DOCSIS-based assets to PON.
For European MSOs, fibre migration is both necessary and unavoidable.
The majority of Europe’s broadband networks have used coaxial or xDSL connections, which are simply copper lines with different technologies.
While dealing with escalating client requests for more bandwidth, European operators are increasingly aware of the need to improve their infrastructure, and many have reached a critical juncture.
AIROHA takes the lead in supporting the RDK-B PON open platform and aids MSOs in their swift and seamless transformation.
Despite the support for PON in the most recent DOCSIS standards, coaxial cable cannot match the speed of fibre connections due to its physical limitations.
The cable sector in Europe is now looking more closely at PON alternatives to conventional technology as 10G-PON technology matures and 25G/50G-PON approaches.
Their decision to use a fibre architecture is a result of the growing demand to preserve their competitiveness.
In order to help operators speed up the cable transformation process, AIROHA supports RDK-B PON systems.
AIROHA is dedicated to improving its clients’ competitiveness and developing into the greatest long-term partner for them.
Western Europe’s Tier-1 operators have chosen AIROHA’s RDK-B PON, which has experienced successful commercialization.
By collaborating with influential companies in the sector to embrace its cutting-edge technologies, AIROHA is challenging the status quo.
The CPE devices supplied by AIROHA’s operator clients will already have RDK-B preinstalled, along with software that has been specially designed by AIROHA to make upgrades simple and enabling cable operators to continue using their current management and application systems on the new chipset platform.
This should significantly lower the cost of migration and enable operators to operate various OLT (Optical Line Terminal) devices inside the same system architecture while taking advantage of fiber’s advantages.
In order to swiftly and easily transition to fibre, AIROHA has assisted several Tier 1 cable operators in Western Europe with the deployment of RDK-B powered chipsets.
The RDK software offers standardised support for IoT interfaces like Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee, as well as routing, Wi-Fi, device management, diagnostics, and DNS. Service providers can create and deliver apps and services across a range of hardware platforms by standardising these functions.
The consistency of device provisioning, data diagnostics, reporting, and telemetry across all RDK software profiles, which enables service providers to handle video and broadband uniformly, is a crucial factor in RDK’s expanding popularity.
