MaxLinear Signs 25GS-PON MSA
To provide better solutions for broadband access and infrastructure customers
MaxLinear PON Solutions
We joined Nokia and others in this multi-source agreement (MSA) because:
- We have been a chipset provider in the PON market for several years, supporting all technologies from GPON to XGS-PON and serving consumers, businesses and infrastructure with SFUs, embedded SFPs and HGUs
- We want to jointly drive PON technology to the next stage and increase the data rate to 25G symmetrical for applications that require more than 10G, while keeping an ITU-T style communication protocol
- We want to ensure the methods used in the standard re-use the same techniques used in XGS-PON or are planned for ITU-T 50G to allow optimized chipset solution
- We see some operators have the need for a 25G symmetrical solution
MaxLinear has acquired Intel's Home Gateway Platform products, which includes PON solutions. Now that the transaction has closed, we are actively working to fully integrate the former Intel Home Gateway Products into our website. Until the integration is complete, visit Intel's website for more information about our latest 10G PON solutions.
