Genesis Technical Systems and Broadcom has launched its next-generation G.fast product portfolio, significantly extending the reach of G.fast and removing the need for expensive fiber deployment.
Genesis said its new GSLAM and GDPU products pave the way for the global rollout of commercial products incorporating Broadcom’s new BCM65450 chipset. They allow carriers to extend G.fast far beyond its usual reach limit of a few hundred meters to deliver gigabit speeds to homes and businesses in excess of 1km. A number of North American telecom carriers have already selected the products for commercial trials, starting in March 2020, claims Genesis.
The Broadcom next-generation BCM65450 is a multichannel SoC supporting all widely deployed DSL modes, including VDSL 17a, VDSL 35b, and 212 MHz G.fast.
The partnership between Genesis and Broadcom has resulted in a suite of innovative Genesis products. Utilizing its patented aggregation technology, Genesis’ Access Service Manager (ASM) will enable a carrier to boost and extend its G.fast service over fiber and copper circuits, delivering gigabit broadband services to anyone, anywhere.
Genesis said its technology bridges the gap between urban and rural areas with distance no longer being the constraining factor in bandwidth delivery.
