Broadcom Corp. announced a new chipset, production-ready reference design platform and associated firmware that is targeted for Ethernet-based wireless and wired backhauling applications, as well as Ethernet-based business applications that require higher bandwidth. The new BroadcomR BCM96519, leverages Broadcom's high performance multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2, vectoring and channel bonding technologies. Compared to existing copper-based transport and backhaul systems in the market, the BCM96519 significantly increases the capacity of Ethernet connectivity over copper, almost 10-fold, with rates approaching 1 Gigabit per second speed. Broadcom's new BCM96519 multi-line DSL terminal solution provides wireless service providers with fast, simple and cost-effective upgrades to multi-Megabit per second backhauling links supporting 3G and 4G base stations, or Node Bs to accelerate the introduction of new mobile broadband services such as mobile TV, live video sharing and high resolution 3D gaming. The BCM96519 delivers more network capacity at a better cost than legacy T1/E1 and G.SHDSL systems in transport and access networks, allowing service providers to offer new services to both businesses and consumers wherever they are. Fixed (wired) network service providers can now deploy higher speed telecommunications services to business accounts and remote DSLAM cabinets using existing copper plants. The BCM96519 multi-line DSL terminal solution. Is based upon the BroadcomR BCM6519 octal digital transceiver and the Broadcom BCM6529 dual analog front end companion chip with the following capabilities: for basic service provider requirements, the BCM96519 supports ITU-T standard compliant 992.3 ADSL2, 992.5 ADSL2+ and 993.2 VDSL2 protocols with additional support for 998.1 ATM bonding and 998.2 PTM bonding, up to 8 lines; to increase capacity, the BCM96519 supports ITU-T G.998.4 compliant physical layer retransmission and G.993.5 vectored VDSL and for carrier grade voice transmission and other timing sensitive applications to share the same backhaul links together with mobile broadband data and video transmission, the BCM96519 supports a high precision and innovative network timing recovery subsystem.

Broadcom Corporation announced that its BluetoothR, GPS and FM radio combination chip has been selected by Samsung to provide navigation, location based services and key connectivity functionality in a number of new handsets now available. The new Samsung handsets that integrate the BroadcomR InConcertR BCM2075 combo chip include the innovative Blue Earth (GT-S7550) handset, as well as the Corby Pro (GT-B5310). The Broadcom BCM2075 combo chip integrates three radios (Bluetooth, GPS and FM), and in conjunction with its unique InConcert collaborative co-existence technology, allows these radios to operate simultaneously, and with minimal interference, providing a more compelling user experience. In addition, this connectivity processor offloads many of the communications functions that are usually performed by the host, saving the host's operation for more computationally-intensive applications. Broadcom will demonstrate its BCM2075 combo chip at next week's 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
