IBC2017 – Quantenna Communications, Inc.
(Nasdaq:QTNA), the innovator and global leader of high performance
Wi-Fi solutions, and Cortina Access, Inc., a leading provider of
fiber access & carrier-grade gateway solutions, today announced
a collaborative demonstration of a Dual 4x4 802.11ax 10G fiber/PON
gateway reference platform at IBC 2017 in Amsterdam. The reference
platform integrates Quantenna’s QSR5G-AX 802.11ax Wi-Fi and
Cortina’s CA7742 10G multi-service gateway processor to support
delivery of multi-gigabit broadband services that can be seamlessly
distributed throughout subscriber’s homes.
“This new technology collaboration with Cortina will bring to
market the best-of-breed broadband service gateway and 802.11ax
Wi-Fi capabilities into a single integrated platform targeting mass
deployment,” said Lionel Bonnot Senior Vice President of Marketing
and Business Development, Quantenna. “We are excited to demonstrate
an end-to-end solution that will enable service providers to
provide their customers best in class wireless experience while
matching state of the art 10G Fiber/PON access speeds.”
Quantenna’s QSR5G-AX solution supports 8 total streams of
802.11ax: 4 streams in the 5GHz band and 4 streams in the 2.4GHz
band. It is a highly integrated access point chipset providing dual
band, dual concurrent operation and management within a small form
factor design. For external host CPUs, the QSR5G-AX provides a rich
set of interface connectivity options, and together with its unique
full-offload architecture, it is able to significantly reduce the
CPU loading for 802.11ax Wi-Fi performance. In addition to Wi-Fi,
the QSR5G-AX also supports a co-existence interface for external
Internet-of-Things radios that are rapidly being deployed. These
802.11ax access point solutions are designed to be compatible to
both future 802.11ax client devices as well as existing Wi-Fi
client devices such as Quantenna's best-in-class 802.11ac/n/a/g/b
solutions.
“With this kind of integration and performance, Cortina together
with Quantenna is driving home network connectivity performance to
a level that has never been achieved before,” said Dr. Stewart Wu,
Vice President of Marketing at Cortina Access. “Quantenna’s
QSR5G-AX solution integrated into Cortina’s innovative
Super-Gateway-ArchitectureTM enables a powerful home router
platform that is able to address the bandwidth requirements needed
to support the increased consumption of high-bandwidth content,
growing demand for UltraHD, as well as the emergence of secured IoT
and smart home applications.”
Cortina’s CA7742 solution features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53
64-bit CPU at up to 1.5GHz. The Super-Gateway-Architecture enables
true zero-CPU load on acceleration of 10Gbps wire-speed network
routing, Wi-Fi bridging and hardware VPN. The Cortina CA7742 also
supports extensive high-speed interfaces such as dual 10 Gbps XFI
interface for connectivity to multi-gigabit modem or a copper PHY,
an integrated XAUI port, multi-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and
PHY, multiple SATA III, USB 3.0 ports and PCIe ports. With its
leading edge architecture design and flexible power save modes, the
Cortina CA7742 is able to operate at a significantly lower power
than comparable solutions, for a true fanless design.
Demonstration at IBC 2017Quantenna will
demonstrate the QSR5G-AX 8x8 802.11ax Wi-Fi solution paired with
Cortina CA7742 processor during IBC 2017 in Amsterdam on September
15-19, 2017. The gateway joint reference design is now available to
OEM and service provider customers.
