CS8212 - GPON MDU SoC

The Cortina Systems® CS8212 GPON MDU System on-a-Chip (SoC) (CS8212 GPON MDU SoC) is the industry's first integrated GPON MDU silicon. The CS8212 GPON MDU SoC is a carrier class, aggregation switching device with GPON and Active Ethernet WAN uplink. The CS8212 GPON MDU SoC performs all the packet processing, forwarding, Quality of Service (QoS) and subscriber management functions required for a Fiber MDU system in a single chip.
