Features 32 single-carrier QAM downstream channels for robust backward compatibility.
Unlike Broadcom's DOCSIS 4.0 chips, which are restricted by Joint Development Agreements (JDAs) with specific major operators, the BCM3392 is "unencumbered." broadcom 3392
Enter the , a highly specialized System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designed to supercharge existing DOCSIS 3.1 infrastructure. Known colloquially in the telecommunications industry as DOCSIS 3.1+ , DOCSIS 3.1 Extended , or DOCSIS 3.1 Stretch , this chipset serves as a crucial interim technology. It allows cable Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to achieve near-DOCSIS 4.0 downstream speeds without undergoing immediate, disruptive network construction. The Technical Breakthrough: Doubling the OFDM Capacity It allows cable Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to
The Broadcom 3392 can be compared to other Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo chips on the market, including: The DOCSIS 3
While the BCM3392 is primarily a downstream-enhancing chip, the DOCSIS 3.1+ ecosystem also promises meaningful upstream improvements. Although the BCM3392 can support theoretical upstream speeds of about 1.7 Gbps under optimal conditions, initial real-world estimations for the DOCSIS 3.1+ approach put downstream speeds around 8 Gbit/s and upstream speeds above 1 Gbit/s.
The DOCSIS 3.1+ path, championed by the BCM3392, offers a dramatically different economics:
