Lantiq's Launches Industry's Highest Integration ADSL2/2+ System-on-Chip for Broadband Home Gateways
Offering the first-in-industry GigE switch and PHY plus WLAN integration on an ADSL SoC, the XWAY ARX300 family scales from cost-optimized to full-featured system requirements
MUNICH and NEUBIBERG, Germany, March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced its XWAY(TM) ARX300 device family for new ADSL2/2+ Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) designs. The Lantiq XWAY ARX300 family includes four System-on-Chip (SoC) derivatives which address different system configurations, ranging from cost-optimized fast Ethernet to feature-rich, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet systems. They are designed to support telecom carrier programs to enhance and extend ADSL2/2+ services in worldwide markets.

XWAY ARX300 Family Highlights
With the new device family, Lantiq provides several new features:
-- Complete ADSL PHY on-chip, including line driver circuitry, compliant
with ITU-T G.992 for 28 Mbps downstream and 2.7 Mbps upstream data rates
supporting physical layer features such as erasure decoding and
retransmission (G.998.4), directly benefiting Internet Protocol
Television (IPTV) applications.
-- Industry's first fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch and Gigabit or
Fast Ethernet PHYs.
-- Integrated, flexible 802.11n Wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity supporting
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency band operation. XWAY(TM) WRX312 (2x2 MIMO)
and XWAY(TM) WRX313 (3x3 MIMO) companion chips are low power
multi-standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n RF transceiver with integrated power
amplifier for 2.4 GHz band operation.
-- Two device versions: XWAY(TM) ARX382 and XWAY(TM) ARX388 derivatives
leverage Lantiq's extensive voice communications and home networking
portfolio in multiple reference designs, including XWAY(TM) SLIC 100
voice interface, COSIC(TM) Modem DECT/CAT-iq single-chip device, and
XWAY(TM) HNX G.hn chipsets for powerline/phone line/copper wire
connectivity.
-- Low system Bill of Materials (BOM) due to market-leading integration
level.
XWAY ARX300 Performance Highlights
-- High-performance dual-processor architecture includes a 500 MHz CPU and
dedicated 32-bit protocol processing engine that assures Gigabit routing
performance with zero load on the application processor.
-- Fully-compliant 802.11n.e/i/h WLAN performance at up to 300 Mbps with
zero-packet-error rate technology and "Thick MAC" architecture to
offload processor intensive operations from the main CPU supports
carrier grade wireless links for rich media, including IPTV.
-- Designed with power management mechanisms to meet European CoC v4 and
beyond requirements.
Comments
"ADSL is the prevailing broadband access technology. In 2011, over half of all broadband access CPE shipments (including DSL, Cable and FTTH) and more than 85% of DSL devices were ADSL CPEs, according to the recent Infonetics' Broadband CPE Market Tracker. With more than 50 million CPE shipments annually worldwide, ADSL will continue to be the largest broadband access device category throughout the forecast horizon 2012 to 2015."
Rainer Spielberg, Vice President of Marketing, Lantiq: "Lantiq's ARX300 family is the first fully integrated GigE/ADSL/WLAN SoC for routers and IADs. It enables carriers to meet growing demand for triple-play services and in-home Gigabit throughput with significant cost, size and power savings at no system performance compromise. This achievement will open the market to new applications around home connectivity and home automation."
Availability
XWAY ARX300 devices are available now for engineering development with key customers. Volume production to support customer roll-outs will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
