Mindspeed to demo Comcerto multi-core packet processors for fiber-access service delivery

Broadband World Forum 2010, NEWPORT BEACH, USA: Mindspeed Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, is demonstrating its multi-core Comcerto SoC packet processors at the Broadband World Forum 2010 conference at the CNIT La Defense in Paris, France, October 26–28, 2010, in booth #D17.

"Mindspeed will be showing its award-winning Comcerto 1000 processors at Broadband World Forum in applications that highlight its superior packet handling for delivering advanced triple-play services, carrier grade voice-over-IP (VoIP) quality, gigabit line rate security performance and a reliable framework for telecom operators to deploy value-added services over fiber networks,” said Marco Bello, executive director of customer premises equipment (CPE) marketing and product management at Mindspeed.

"Comcerto processors reduce maximum and average power consumption compared to alternative solutions, by using a combination of very large-scale integration (VLSI) design techniques, low power core technology from ARM Ltd. and power management application programming interfaces (APIs). Moreover, the Comcerto 1000 software design kit (SDK) includes a complete broadband home router (BHR) reference implementation and a carrier-class, feature-rich voice package to help accelerate system development schedules, while reducing total system cost."

The Comcerto 1000 SoC processor will be shown distributing multiple simultaneous high-definition (HD) video streams, while delivering HD VoIP service and gigabit data rates with robust Quality of Service (QoS). The demonstration will also feature a real-world OSGi home security application.

In addition to showing its Comcerto-based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband home router platform, the company will also highlight its line of Comcerto-based solutions for the carrier and enterprise markets. Mindspeed’s Transcede 4000 3G/4G/LTE wireless baseband processor will also be displayed in an LTE Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) configuration.
