DOCSIS 4.0 chipset targets modems and gateways
Puma 8 is MaxLinear’s DOCSIS 4.0 cable modem and gateway chipset supporting frequency division duplex (FDD), also known as Extended Spectrum (ESD). The chipset comprises a DOCSIS SoC, AnyWAN SoC, and a low-power, ultra-high split upstream programmable gain amplifier.
Puma 8 provides a range of energy-saving features. Even at full utilization, its power consumption is just 20 W to 25 W, which the company says is half that of competing solutions. Low power consumption enables a fanless design, which reduces both cost and space.
According to MaxLinear, Puma 8 enables immediate large-scale deployments as a DOCSIS 3.1 device with gradual feature expansion options without the need for costly customer premises equipment. This flexibility minimizes service disruptions, ensures a seamless transition to the latest technology, and optimizes investment in network infrastructure.
Complete modem, embedded multimedia terminal adapter (EMTA), and gateway platforms will be available from MaxLinear’s early access OEM partners in 2024. These partners include, but are not limited to, Askey, CommScope, and Hitron. MaxLinear says access to the Puma 8 chipset will not require any restrictive joint development agreements by cable multiple systems operators (MSOs).
