Pace and Broadcom Demonstrate DOCSIS(R) 2.0 Channel Bonding to Leverage Existing Operator Infrastructure

Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, Pace Micro Technology, a dedicated, global set-top box developer that supplies the world’s largest television service providers, and Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that they are working together to demonstrate DOCSIS® 2.0 Channel Bonding capability. The demonstrations are taking place at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo, June 20-22 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fl. in Pace’s Exhibit #2659,. The combined companies’ technologies - Pace’s next-generation HD–DVR set-top box with Broadcom’s DOCSIS 2.0 with Channel Bonding set-top cable modem silicon - enables greater than 100Mb/sec of payload data (any combination of video, data, voice, or all three) to be sent to the set-top box for display or pass-through to Ethernet connected devices (routers, PCs, VoIP phones, etc.). The Pace Channel Bonding set-top is just one of many new technologies being publicly shown this week at SCTE and soon to be incorporated into all Pace DOCSIS-enabled set-top boxes. Subscriber and Operator Benefits As many operators are lighting up DOCSIS into set-tops, the ability to combine or "bond” up to 3 DOCSIS 6 MHz downstream channels together opens up a tremendous bandwidth pipe into the home. This sizeable pipe can then be used for such applications as offering greater high-speed data access, more content programs that are not currently broadcasted, and additional home networking capabilities. "This Channel Bonding technology enables cable operators to leverage their existing investments in a DOCSIS 2.0 infrastructure, allowing them to forge ahead and not wait for DOCSIS 3.0 deployments,” said Pace Americas VP of Technology Chris Dinallo. "Channel Bonding will help alleviate the bandwidth crunch that cable operators are facing in order to satisfy the ever-increasing appetite for more programming and advanced services that require greater bandwidth,” he added.
