Infrastructure gateways connect core operator networks such as optical (OC-3 and up) and copper broadband networks to market-specific, operator-owned networks such as cable, xDSL, and Ethernet. TI provides infrastructure gateway platforms for DSL infrastructure equipment and VoIP high density gateways.
Infrastructure gateways must seamlessly aggregate thousands of cable, DSL and VoIP customers at a reasonable cost to the operator. They must also enable valuable services over broadband, such as tiered data rates, VoIP and video services.
To the system operators who manage backbone connectivity, and the engineers who design infrastructure gateways, the three paramount building blocks are:
High-performance silicon, software and system integration
An in-depth understanding of how the networks interact
Compatibility with the existing infrastructure
Scalability for new services
TI provides infrastructure gateway platforms that deliver differentiated performance and simplify design and validation to accelerate deployment with operators.
At the heart of TI infrastructure gateway solutions are highly integrated signal-processing systems consisting of:
Multi-core TI DSP platforms
Communications processors
Analog, mixed signal and power management components
