Broadcom Unveils Industry’s Most Comprehensive Dual 100G MACsec PHY with 256-bit AES for Secure Network Infrastructure
March 20 2017 - 12:00PM
Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:AVGO), a leading designer, developer and
global supplier of a broad range of digital and analog
semiconductor connectivity solutions, today announced the
industry’s most comprehensive dual-port 100GbE PHY device, the
BCM82391, supporting the IEEE 802.1AE media access controller
security (MACsec) standard for 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE and
100GbE interconnects. The device addresses security requirements
for various Ethernet data link configurations in modern high-speed,
mission-critical network infrastructure that includes federal and
enterprise, cloud-scale data center, and service provider networks.
Expanding upon previous generation products, the new MACsec PHY
integrates the latest 256-bit AES technology with Broadcom’s
market-proven 25G SerDes core, bolstering data transmission
security and signal integrity to secure the critical high-speed
data links between servers, switches and routers.
As Ethernet links throughout the network are being
upgraded to higher speeds to support the increasing demand for
higher bandwidth, security becomes a serious concern across various
levels of the network interfaces, especially for the 8x10G, 8x25G,
2x40G, 2x50G and 2x100G configurations which have been widely
implemented. The BCM82391 is a comprehensive, highly-integrated
MACsec PHY solution designed to protect high-speed data
interconnects in critical networking applications from security
breaches.
BCM82391 Product Highlights
- Dual 100GbE PHY with transmit pre-emphasis and adaptive receive
equalization supporting SR4, LR4, CR4 and ER4 applications
- Highly-integrated IEEE 802.1AE 256-bit MACsec supporting 10G,
25G, 40G, 50G and 100G rates
- Long-reach performance capable of compensating for > 35dB of
insertion loss @ 25 Gb/s
- Low power 28nm CMOS design
“This latest generation of MACsec PHY enables
network operators with secure, encrypted 100G communications links
capable of withstanding intrusion attacks, wiretapping and other
threats to secure data transmission,” said Lorenzo Longo, senior
vice president and general manager of the Physical Layer Products
Division at Broadcom. “Leveraging our field-proven 25G SerDes
technology in a highly-integrated, multi-rate MACsec architecture,
Broadcom provides the most comprehensive MACsec PHY solution for
10G/25G/40G/50G/100G Ethernet links.”
“MACsec PHY standards that extend to full 256-AES
are now expected as a baseline feature in many Ethernet markets,”
said Loring Wirbel, senior analyst with The Linley Group. “One
product running the gamut from 10GbE to 100GbE represents a
baseline functionality for tomorrow's secure data center - and for
other vertical networking markets requiring security, as well."
Broadcom will showcase multiple MACsec PHY products
based on the latest 256-bit AES technology. The demonstration and
new product showcase will be in the Broadcom Booth 2873 at the
Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) 2017 exhibition in Los Angeles,
California from March 21st to 23rd.
AvailabilityBroadcom has begun shipping the
BCM82391 and is currently accepting orders for this product.
Broadcom is also sampling the BCM82756, a new quad-port 10GbE
MACsec PHY that integrates the IEEE 802.1AE MACsec GCM-AES-256b
encryption, IEEE 1588, retimer andEDC equalizer functions
supporting 1GbE, 10GbE and 40GbE applications. Please contact your
local Broadcom sales representative for samples and pricing.
