MaxLinear Full-Spectrum Capture™ DOCSIS® 3.1 Chipsets Power Hitron’s Full Duplex Demonstration
October 17 2017 - 8:15AM
Business Wire
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced that Hitron
Technologies Inc. (TAIEX: 2419), a leading global
telecommunications networking company, has picked MaxLinear front
end receivers as part of a successful coexistence demonstration of
its CODA family of DOCSIS® 3.1 cable modems in a Full Duplex (FDX)
DOCSIS 3.1 demonstration network.
The demonstration made use of MaxLinear's MxL277 and MxL278
Full-Spectrum Capture™ (FSC™) digital cable front-end receivers and
the MxL236 upstream programmable gain amplifier. The demonstration
also utilized the Intel® Puma™ 7 DOCSIS 3.1 SoC.
The use of FDX technology provides broadband operators a path to
deploy multi-gigabit upstream data speeds, enabling operators to
deliver symmetric internet access speeds equivalent to fiber while
extending the life of their existing hybrid coax cable plants.
As part of the demonstration, Hitron is showcasing how its CODA
family of cable modems are interoperable with future FDX signal
environments and are ideal for cable operators who wish to deploy
future-proof consumer premise equipment (CPE). Hitron’s CODA-45
models feature a 5MHz -85MHz fixed mid-split and multiple GigE
ports (depending on the model), among other features. The CODA-47
models may be switched to 204MHz high-split enabling upstream
speeds of 1Gbps.
As utilized in Hitron’s CODA cable modem models, the MxL277 and
MxL278 DOCSIS 3.1 tuners offer significant advantages in an all
IP-based delivery of multimedia content and cloud services. In
anticipation of future FDX networks, the MxL277 and MxL278 deliver
better signal rejection than competing DOCSIS 3.1 platforms. This
capability enables cable operators to confidently deploy DOCSIS 3.1
modems today that are interoperable with the complexities of FDX
signal environments in the future.
“Working with Hitron to demonstrate coexistence with future FDX
networks is an exciting milestone for MaxLinear,” said Will
Torgerson, MaxLinear’s Vice President and General Manager,
Broadband Group. “Being able to preserve investments in today’s
DOCSIS 3.1 CPE is a critical benefit Hitron and MaxLinear bring to
cable MSOs.”
“MaxLinear’s chipset is the ideal choice for our new family of
DOCSIS 3.1 cable products in preparation for this FDX
demonstration,” said Greg Fisher, CTO for Hitron Technologies
Americas. “Broadband providers have long been looking for ways to
increase upstream throughput without sacrificing downstream speeds.
FDX saves cable operators much of the cost that would be incurred
by digging fiber to the home, while delivering the same
multi-gigabit speeds to customers. With the use of MaxLinear’s
DOCSIS 3.1 receivers, operators get to preserve investments and
future proof their deployed base of CPE.”
Availability
The MxL277 and MxL278 DOCSIS 3.1 receivers are available in
production quantities in a standard 10mm x 10mm QFN package. The
MxL236 is available in production quantities in a standard 7mm x
7mm QFN package. Please contact MaxLinear for ordering
information.

risks and uncertainties arising from our operations generally and
our recently completed acquisitions include intense competition in
our industry; our dependence on a limited number of customers for a
substantial portion of our revenues; uncertainties concerning how
end user markets for our products will develop; potential
uncertainties arising from continued consolidation among cable
television and satellite operators in our target markets and
continued consolidation among competitors within the semiconductor
