To deliver a wider range of services to more subscribers without additional satellite dish installations, Broadcom Corporation has announced a new Outdoor Unit (ODU) satellite chipset for operators.
Nicholas Dunn, Broadcom Vice-President – Marketing, Broadband Communications Group, stated, “With the launch of today’s new low-power ODU chipset, Broadcom is helping to expand the availability of satellite services in single homes and multiple dwelling units across the globe. By streamlining the cabling required to support a single home or multiple residential units, we’ve also reduced hardware and installation costs for satellite operators and simplified satellite distribution to consumers.”
Broadcom’s BCM4551 addresses issues such as installation cost, need for separate coaxial cable for each set-top box as well as regulations in countries that set a limit on the number of satellite dishes per building. The simplified design of Broadcom’s new ODU chipset will also allow 24 DVB-S2 channels to be stacked on a single coaxial cable to service any set-top box in a home, simplifying and reducing satellite operator installation costs.
Broadcom’s BCM4551 is currently sampling.
