Wall Street Is Cheering Broadcom Stock. It Wants to Supercharge the Smart Home Industry.

Recently, chip giant Broadcom (AVGO) launched its Edge AI broadband portfolio, including a 50G PON gateway system-on-chip with an integrated neural processing unit and Wi-Fi 8 fixed wireless access (FWA) support, bringing fast, secure, and intelligent processing to the edge for smart homes and enterprise applications.

Broadcom is working with partners, including Samsung and various telecom operators, to offer a silicon and software portfolio that creates a joint solution between the hyperscale data center and network edge. This is an effort to deliver the underlying hardware that can finally enable network operators to monetize their extensive fiber and 5G infrastructure investments through distributed AI services.
