Lantiq Announces Carrier-Class Network Processing for Home Gateway
“You get the service you want at the quality you want. By far the most flexible and
secure gateway that has ever existed!”

Multi-Gigabit Routing Enables Unmatched QoS, Paired with Dedicated Security and
Hardware-Enforced Virtualization to Deliver True Digital Home Experience
Munich/Neubiberg, Germany – March 16, 2015 – Lantiq, a leading supplier of
broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced the
industry’s most integrated home gateway network processor. The new GRX350
combines unsurpassed routing performance and bi-directional packet classification to
provide True Quality of Service (TrueQoS™), along with a dedicated Trusted
Execution Processor (TrustWorld™) and hardware-enforced virtualization
(TrueVirtualization™). This virtualization isolates concurrent applications so that
networking functionality executes separately from non-networking applications, such
as smart home services. One benefit of this architecture is shortened test time and
time to market of new applications – without endangering the stability and integrity of
the core networking software.
The MIPS based GRX350 network processor integrates carrier grade edge router
features into its advanced home gateway architecture, which includes multiple CPUs,
Gigabit switch with integrated GPHYs, 3x3 Wi-Fi, Voice and DECT telephony.
Following Lantiq’s AnyWAN™ concept, the chipset effortlessly handles any kind of
wide-area-network (WAN) connectivity including the new G.fast standard.
Next generation multi-service gateways based on the Lantiq processor will
concurrently manage multiple Gigabits of incoming data streams from interfaces,
like G.fast, GPON, Gigabit Ethernet WAN, VDSL2 or hybrid access network
approaches such as DSLTE™ (DSL + LTE).
GRX350 integrates advanced offloading technologies to intelligently manage the
multi-millions of packets from all the wired and wireless devices competing for
network bandwidth in digital home environments doing it with a 0% CPU load.
In a first for home gateway network processors, Lantiq applies TrueQoS with
hardware acceleration to all downstream and upstream data traffic, using full
packet classification and bandwidth protection to assure the best possible
customer experience
With GRX350 the home gateway supports virtual provisioning of network
functions in SDN (Software Defined Network) / NFV (Network Function

Virtualization) scenarios by linking the standard OpenFlow™ protocol to its
embedded TrueQoS and Packet Acceleration engines.
Rainer Spielberg, Vice President and Head of the Residential Gateway Solutions
Business Line at Lantiq:
“The new Lantiq GRX350 Network Processor opens the door to previously
unavailable levels of service quality in broadband home networking. With Lantiq
TrueQoS, customers get the service they want at the quality they want. In addition
the GRX350 will power the most secure gateways ever available for home networks,
thanks to the dedicated security core. We believe these unique features will be the
heart of the true digital home.”
The GRX350 is based on Imagination Technologies’ interAptiv processor core which
is among the most performance-efficient and feature-rich CPU cores in its class.
GRX350 includes multiple multi-threaded MIPS CPUs.
Availability
Samples are available now, volume production is planned for the second half of
2015. More Information can be found on Lantiq’s website at:
