Broadcom added five new chips to its StrataGX line of SoCs for delivering Gigabit connectivity in enterprise and small-to-medium business (SMB) networks, including support for gigabit Wi-Fi (802.11ac).
The five new SoCs, which are now sampling, combine a high performance processor, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch, GbE physical layer transceivers (PHYs), USB 3.0 and traffic accelerators all on a single chip.
Broadcom said these new devices deliver more than 10x speed and 40 percent more power efficiency to enterprise and carrier class access points, branch office routers and business class integrated services routers.
