MaxLinear SoC chips enable network independent home gateway

With the growth of usage of home gateways in homes for watching streaming media, usage of non-internet cable set-top box is drastically dropping to very low levels. In this consumer electronics market trend, there is a need to have network independent home gateways. The leading digital/Internet driven consumer-electronics System on Chip developer MaxLinear has made available SOC chips for home gateways where they can connect to any of the high-speed networks such as: 1. GPON, XGS-PON, 10G EPON, Active Ethernet optical fibre networks 2. Copper based cable networks such as Xdsl, G. Fast, and DOCSIS 3.Wireless networks of type 5G FWA, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7 4. And others including Ethernet 2.5G and 10G, G.hn, MoCA, Voice FX The Three new SOC chips are codenamed as MxL25641, URX850, and URX851. OEMs and ODMs designing home gateways are given ultra-scalable architecture through this chips so that they can come out with a single versatile product for service providers such as cable, telco, and wireless. MaxLinear claims these chips are designed to reduce the development time and bring down the cost of ownership. The another key feature of these chips is companies can design multiple high-speed data access gateway products with a common software framework. These chips support softwares such as prplOS (formerly prplWRT), RDK-B, and MaxLinear UGW. MaxLinear AnyWAN...
