Broadcom Corporation will provide high-speed broadband services to Hathway Cable and Telecom with its DOCSIS 3.0-based chipset.
DOCSIS 3.0 chipsets enable cable operators to expand services to support high value interactive applications, such as on-demand programming, for both residential and commercial customers.
With this, cable broadband services provider Hathway becomes the first multi-system operator to launch a DOCSIS 3.0 network in India capable of transmitting high speed data at speeds greater than 300 megabits per second (Mbps), a statement said.
“Broadcom has been instrumental in developing the DOCSIS 3.0 standard for cable networks, enabling faster transmission speeds by adding advanced media access control capabilities,” said Rich Nelson, Broadcom senior vice-president for marketing, BCG. “By leveraging our DOCSIS 3.0 chipset, Hathway can dramatically expand value-added services to their subscribers, providing the enhanced entertainment experience viewers have been waiting for,” he added.
“Broadcom’s advanced DOCSIS 3.0 chipsets provided the innovation we needed to cost-effectively upgrade our equipment and meet growing consumer demand for on-demand video consumption to our subscribers across the country,” said Jayant Changrani, Hathway Cable and Datacom president of Technology.
The key features of Broadcom DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Gateway SoC are its dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi, simultaneous 2.4 and 5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11 band streams enable gateways to segregate data and video distribution, Integrated applications processor expands the capability of the modem and supports advanced applications without impacting the voice and gateway performance, multi-threaded 1 Gigahertz (GHz) application processor offering a 100% CPU speed improvement.
According to industry analyst firm Infonetics, operators are currently upgrading to DOCSIS 3.0-based broadband gateways with 85% revenue growth in 2013 alone.
