Ikanos Provides VDSL2/ADSL2+ Triple Play Residential Gateways

Ikanos Communications has announced the availability of the FXS60IF1, the single-chip Integrated Front End (IFE) that enables multi-mode VDSL2/ADSL2+ triple play residential gateways. The FXS60IF1 is designed to allow gateways to deliver Ikanos’ VDSL2 performance and simultaneously meet DSL Forum’s stringent ADSL2+ and ADSL performance specifications (TR-100 and TR-067 respectively). By integrating the xDSL line driver, the FXS60IF1 reduces external components and power consumption compared to existing solutions in the market. The FXS60IF1, in conjunction with a residential gateway processor such as the Fusiv Vx180, delivers a best-in-class solution for a multi-mode triple play residential gateway. This solution meets the ITU-T standards for VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL2 and ADSL. It also offers Ikanos’ superior physical layer technology features – such as high levels of impulse noise protection, Rapid Rate Adaptation (RRA), on-chip quality of service (QoS) and wire-speed network processor performance – to improve consumers’ triple play experience.
