Broadcom announces first Merchant Silicon 50G PON solution with AI/ML capability
Broadcom launched the first commercial 50G PON solution with AI/ML capabilities, introducing the BCM68660 and BCM55050 devices that enable telecommunications operators with advanced client AI processing.
This new platform enables the launch of mission-critical applications, with improved speed and lower latency, as well as support for new AI functions on 50G broadband networks. The solution provides 40 times higher performance than current gigabit networks, which improves the user experience by allowing them to make faster video calls, better streaming and greater responsiveness in games. An integrated neural processing unit reduces latency and cloud costs while ensuring data privacy as AI processing remains on site. These systems support a number of new applications, such as 5G small cells and network anomaly detection and automatic network recovery, enabling predictive energy management.
