BroadLight, a supplier of GPON semiconductors and software, has successful integrated its BL2348 GPON residential gateway device with Ralink’s RT3062 300 Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi offering.
The company claims that the integrated reference design provides a high-performance, cost optimised residential gateway offering that enables triple play voice, video and data services to the home over a combined GPON plus Wi-Fi network.
Ralink has recently joint BroadLight’s Synergy+ partners program which establishes strategic alliances that deliver offerings complementing BroadLight’s product offerings.
Doron Tal, vice president of business development and product management at BroadLight, said: “The combination of Ralink and BroadLight technologies creates a compelling solution for customers and enables them to quickly bring to market wireless-enabled GPON home gateways.
“802.11n Wi-Fi is an essential technology for residential gateways enabling wireless distribution of new high-speed services such as multimedia in the broadband connected home, and we are confident that Ralink’s 802.11n solutions provide a superior wireless networking experience for the lowest cost.”
Cashew Chen, vice president of Ralink, said: “GPON significantly increases broadband performance on the LAN, driving the need for similarly robust wireless capabilities. New home gateways based on BroadLight’s GPON combined with Ralink RT3062 Wi-Fi can deliver the performance and reliability that consumers demand when streaming media and latency-sensitive content.”
