BroadLight Selects CEVA VoIP Platform for GPON Residential Gateway SoC

(Product News, 8 Oct 2008)

BroadLight has licensed and deployed CEVA Inc.'s CEVA-VoP Voice-Over-Packet platform in its newest BL2348 GPON Residential Gateway (RG) System-on-Chip (SoC) solution. BroadLight's latest SoC provides high bandwidth internet and VoIP capabilities for a new breed of cost-effective Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) connected to the Internet via Passive Optical Network (PON).

"BroadLight has a long history of developing feature-rich and cost effective PON solutions in minimal time," says Gal Sitton, Vice President of Systems at BroadLight. "Using the CEVA-VoP platform for our BL2348 GPON System-on-Chip and leveraging CEVA's expertise in DSP cores, we were once again able to meet the cost, performance and time-to-market requirements for the successful deployment of our product."

"We are pleased to announce BroadLight as the latest licensee for our fully integrated CEVA-VoP platform," says Eran Briman, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at CEVA. "Their selection of our Voice-over-Packet platform for development of their GPON product further demonstrates the performance capabilities and ease-of-integration of our silicon-proven technology."

The CEVA-VoP platform is built on top of the CEVA-TeakLite-II high-performance DSP engine, and the Xpert-TeakLite-II integrated subsystem (with cached memory, peripherals, and system interfaces), capable of handling multiple, simultaneous voice channels on a single core. CEVA has included internally developed software modules for critical functions such as voice coding, echo cancellation and telephony interfaces. In addition, CEVA-VoP handles the signaling and networking functions in the standalone networking configuration of the platform, where the system does not require an integrated host CPU.
