Sumitomo Electric Networks Selects OCTEON to Power Triple-Play Home Gateways for Next-Generation Fiber to the Home Service
Cavium Networks announced that Sumitomo Electric Networks has developed their gigabit rate, next generation home gateway based on the Cavium Networks OCTEON CN5020 processor.
As bandwidth requirements for home access increase driven by rich voice, video and data traffic, FTTx (fiber) deployment is growing rapidly in several parts of the world including Japan, US and Europe. In the Japan market, FTTH network delivers gigabit rates to the home. Homes need powerful gateways to process such high data rates along with the associated IPv6 and PPPoE protocol processing. In addition, the home gateways need to process triple play traffic with stringent QoS requirements, support IPsec and WiFi functionality along with carrier class Voice over IP and IPTV services. OCTEON CN5020 dual core communications processor was chosen by Sumitomo Electric Networks, to provide the heart of their next generation home gateway based on the ability to meet these requirements of major Japanese service provider networks.
The OCTEON CN50XX family offers the choice of 1 or 2 custom 64-bit MIPS core devices, operating at 300-700MHz frequencies with multiple software and pin compatible processor options. Along with the best in class processor cores, the OCTEON CN50XX provides an integrated 128KB L2 cache, QoS, TCP, packet and security co-processing in hardware with a rich set of interfaces such as TDM/PCM, multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, PCI, USB 2.0 and many others. With these advanced features, competitive price points and low power consumption the OCTEON CN50XX delivers an unparalleled solution for the rapidly growing high bandwidth broadband deployments in Japan, North America and Europe.
