New Low Power Series Delivers Unparalleled Integration; Significantly Reduces Service Provider System & Operating Costs

Capable of delivering 1000x more bandwidth than legacy time-division multiplexing (TDM) based networks(1), the Broadcom® BCM56440 series offers carriers a seamless migration path to Ethernet-class performance and advanced services in the mobile backhaul network.

The BCM56440 switch series provides the industry's highest integration in its class, combining the functionality of up to seven off-the-shelf application-specific standard parts (ASSPs) into one 40 nanometer (nm) CMOS device, dramatically lowering OEM bill-of-material (BOM) cost while reducing service provider capital expenditure (CAPEX) on mobile backhaul equipment by up to 50 percent. In addition the BCM56440 eliminates the need for expensive, power-hungry network processing units (NPUs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), significantly reducing overall development costs and time to market.
