Features

OVERVIEW

The MSP7162 Fiber Access Residential Gateway is a second generation device that combines the multi-service 7100 Series architecture with PMC-Sierra's proven GPON ONT technology and provides a solution for low-cost, high performance GPON FTTH CPE gateways. It supports an integrated GPON subsystem, multiple 10/100/1000BaseX MACs, PCI host, a dedicated DSP core for VoIP processing, dual USB 2.0 interfaces, and a DDR2 memory interface. A Linux software development kit (SDK) that includes voice processing and GPON management modules are included to streamline application integration and quicken time to market.

This multifunction residential gateway processor addresses carrier service delivery needs by simultaneously providing superior data path performance, application processing, and robust voice processing in a cost/performance efficient implementation. Its 600 MHz multithreaded 7100 Series core dynamically allocates resources between voice, video, and data processing services, to guarantee consistent, high-quality broadband networking performance. It supports gateway designs that enable a service-grade digital home with the gigabit boost required for IPTV.

Its superior packet processing and WT-156-compliant quality of service (QoS) performance, with advanced remote management capabilities, addresses continuously evolving digital home usecases, and provides carriers the ability to control in-home service distribution which is essential for a high-value consumer experience. This powerful engine provides the necessary performance and connectivity for service revenue-generating broadband portals.

The MSP7162 is a multithreaded SoC that shares the MSP7100 Series architecture and Linux-based embedded software. Its ITU-T G.984 GPON ONT-standard interoperability is compatible with the MSP7160 GPON RG.

BENEFITS

The MSP7162 is a second generation device combining a proven GPON core and SoC. It provides exceptional simultaneous processing behaviors, which are essential for fiber access gateways to support triple-play and the evolution to true multiservice deployments.

PMC-Sierra's residential gateway solution delivers concurrent complex traffic management, routing, bridging, and firewall tasks with processing power to guarantee voice, video, and data service quality. These simultaneous processing capabilities ensure critical quality of experience (QoE) for all broadband service deployments.
