Broadcom broadband optical access series and household equipment connection including Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and gigabit passive optical network (GPON), high-speed Internet, combination of a highly integrated solution for television and telephone.
In the solution of BCM6838x series high integration system provides cost-effective suppliers to implement EPON and GPON home gateway unit (HGU) and single family unit (SFU), on a single chip low cost system.
MediaTek GPON / MT7525 EPON chipset, which is widely used in the generation of Chinese, telecom FTTH upgrade, but also exported to Asia and the Middle East, this is a cost-effective gateway terminal - FTTH project, this project can download 2.5Gbps data stream and about 1.25Gbps upstream.
It is affordable and stable platform!
In conclusion, Broadcom is the fourth generation of BCM6838X and BCM serial gateway and SOHO switches are more compatible, MediaTek MT7525 also has stable and good compatibility with all major gateway, three level switch, so the best way is the budget, and how to make the maintenance of network will be a good consider your choice, residential gateway project.
