ViXS Systems, Inc. announced it is developing a reference design based on the Intel Corporation's Puma(TM) 6 platform's high-performance solution for DOCSIS media gateways - combining the DOCSIS3.0 System on Chip (SOC) from Intel and network media processing transcoder and MoCA2.0 SOCs from ViXS. The reference solution will result in quick time-to-market for OEMs building DOCSIS media gateways for cable MSOs worldwide. With the rapid adoption of tablets, smart phones and other mobile platforms, consumers are demanding anytime, anywhere entertainment, dramatically altering the TV viewing experience, and increasing the number of client devices within the home.

This market trend has opened up new opportunities for cable MSOs to deliver new services for entertainment content through DOCSIS enabled broadband media gateways. An advanced cable DOCSIS media gateway utilizes the super-fast downstream speeds provided by DOCSIS3.0 technology, transcoding, and seamless in-home networking technology offered by MoCA2.0. Intel's Puma family has long been a leader in providing advanced DOCSIS solutions to the cable industry. Intel Puma 6MG extends Intel's leadership by bonding up to 24 channels to deliver downstream data speeds of up to 1Gbps.

By taking advantage of the high downstream bandwidth offered by the Intel Puma6 family, service providers can deliver multiple streams of IP video over DOCSIS to subscriber homes.
