MaxLinear 32-Channel Receiver, PGA Chosen By Hitron For DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway

(RTTNews) - MaxLinear, Inc. (MXL), a provider of integrated radio frequency and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communications applications, said telecommunications networking company Hitron Technologies Inc. has selected the MxL268 Full-Spectrum Capture or FSC 32-channel digital cable front-end receiver, and the MxL231 programmable gain amplifier or PGA for a new family of DOCSIS 3.0 consumer premises equipment delivering data rates up to 1.6 Gbps.

Hitron will demonstrate its next-generation 32-channel DOCSIS 3.0 products at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015 in Las Vegas, which runs from Jan 6-9.

The MxL268 captures the entire 1 Gigahertz cable spectrum, enabling cable operators to configure their systems flexibly to receive up to 32 channels.

By being able to flexibly combine up to 32 multiple channels, cable operators can support data speeds of up to 1.6Gbps using a DOCSIS 3.0 data modem and the existing DOCSIS 3.0 cable infrastructure.

With its FSC technology, the MxL268 receiver replaces several discrete, single-channel cable tuners with just one broadband multi-channel receiver.
