SoC enables next gen ultra broadband services

PMC-Sierra claims its new System on Chip (SoC) devices provide 'industry leading' traffic management, packet processing, on chip redundancy and the most advanced optical diagnostic technologies.
The 10G-EPON OLT devices - the PAS8301, PAS8311, PAS8401 and PAS8411 - comply with IEEE 802.3av specifications and China carrier specifications for both asymmetric and symmetric 10G-EPON modes.
According to PMC, they provide the highest network reliability and Quality of Service (QoS), and are the first to integrate a complete, always-on toolkit for optical network and ONU inspection.
The toolkit consists of an in band optical time domain reflectometer (otdr) and upstream signal analyser, that operate while in service, reducing the need for external test equipment. On chip fibre automatic protection switching is designed to enable a rapid switch over in cases of failure in the optical distribution network.
"10G-EPON allows carriers to meet the demand for enhanced triple play services and ever increasing bandwidth requirements, while doubling the number of users supported over the same fibre infrastructure," said Raphael Sankar, vice president and co-general manager of PMC-Sierra's FTTH division. "Our integrated traffic management, packet processing, break through optical diagnostics and built in power save control enable customers worldwide to deliver feature rich, reliable and cost effective solutions."
