Home Gateway Solutions
The Marvell Home Gateway solutions are complete reference designs for small footprint, highly integrated, and high-performance Wireless LAN enabled Home Gateways for home and SOHO applications. Solutions are available for 802.11g/b and 802.11a/g/b standards. Each solution is based on a 2-chip architecture that is comprised of a SoC and a RF chip. The SoC provides a highly reliable and cost-effective solution that integrates baseband, MAC, an embedded ARM microprocessor with on-chip memory for performance optimization, one 10/100 Ethernet, PCI and MII interface. MII or PCI host drivers are available for integration into external hosts such as xDSL and Cable Modems. If there is no host system, the SoC can connect to a family of SOHO Ethernet switches from Marvell’s Link Street family for a complete, stand-alone SOHO gateway solution. In both cases, the microprocessor implements all WLAN functions (802.11 protocol, Access Point functionality, encryption, authentication, Quality of Service) and all routing and end user applications. The RF chip also integrates an on-chip Power Amplifier and Low Noise Amplifier which minimizes external components and improves manufacturing reliability.
