MoChi-enabled transceiver chipset implements G.hn Wave-2 and 2-Gbps wired data rate
The chipset is capable of delivering data rates up to 2-Gbps for carrier and home networking applications, can operate over any wired medium (coaxial cable, power lines, phone lines), and is specially optimized to provide a reliable backhaul for 802.11ac Wave-2 Wi-Fi access points and extenders.
The 88LX5153 baseband processor and the companion 88LX2730 analog front end chip implement the latest version of the ITU-T G.hn standard, with support for the new 200-MHz coax channel bandwidth, while simultaneously achieving lower power consumption and smaller size than products currently available in the market.
System vendors can integrate the MoChi-enabled 88LX5153 processor with other MoChi-enabled application processors to build a virtual System-on-Chip (VSoC™) that enables lower system cost, simpler board design and faster time-to-market. By leveraging MoChi capabilities, system vendors will also be able to add new virtual interfaces such as PCIe or USB3 to 88LX5153-based systems. Marvell’s G.hn Wave-2 products are designed for seamless integration with its existing portfolio of products for the carrier and consumer electronics industries, including Avanta® PON transceivers, ARMADA SoCs, Avastar® Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave-2 radios, Alaska® Ethernet PHYs and Prestera® and Link Street® SOHO Ethernet switches.
"Our G.hn Wave-2 offering is the result of Marvell’s commitment to help broadband service providers deliver gigabit-class services to their subscribers using in-premises wiring. These products combine the fastest data rates in the industry with the flexibility provided by our MoChi architecture to build custom virtual SoCs that exactly meet customer needs at very competitive price points," said Philip Poulidis, Vice President and General Manager, Wireless and Internet of Things Business Units at Marvell.
Marvell’s G.hn Wave-2 chipsets will start sampling to customers in Q1 2016. Networking products based on Marvell’s G.hn Wave-2 chipsets are expected to reach the market during the second half of 2016.
