Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced that its high performance 20 nanometer (nm) signal processing enhanced mixed signal technologies has enabled NTT Electronics' new NLD0640 100G coherent digital signal processor (DSP) — an industry first. Optimized for use in 100G-and-beyond optical fiber communication systems, the Broadcom-enabled coherent physical layer transceiver (PHY) consumes less than half the power of existing long-haul coherent ICs and expands the use of coherent technology to metro and shorter reach links.
