The BCM3392 serves as the direct successor to the widely deployed BCM3390 . Its primary enhancement is its ability to handle significantly more data through advanced channel bonding:

Announced a full portfolio of data modems and gateways powered by the BCM3392.

Developed the CVA438z (a cable modem/VoIP adapter) and the CGA438A (a DOCSIS 3.1 gateway) using the chipset.

Several leading Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) manufacturers have already integrated the BCM3392 into their product lines:

This increase in OFDM support allows for downstream capacities ranging from 5 Gbit/s to 8 Gbit/s , placing it well ahead of standard DOCSIS 3.1 hardware.

The chip is primarily intended for high-end residential gateways, standalone broadband modems, and sophisticated home networking setups.

Unlike the BCM3390, which supports two 192MHz-wide Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) channels, the BCM3392 supports four .

This means any cable provider or hardware manufacturer worldwide can source this chip to build high-speed modems. This provides a vital "stretch" or "bridge" technology, allowing operators to stay competitive against fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services while they plan their long-term transition to newer standards.
