Sercomm Corp

Sercomm is making its RDK Video Accelerator set-top box, built on the Broadcom BCM74116, available as reference hardware for application developers and as a YouTube reference device. The company said the device, developed in collaboration with Broadcom, is designed for application development, validation and testing on RDK and provides a high-performance foundation for next-generation video entertainment, interactive TV, cloud gaming and AI-enabled services. Sercomm Chief Commercial Officer Daniel Whalen said the dedicated open environment is intended to accelerate application validation and smooth the path to deployment on RDK-based consumer devices, with the set-top box combining LPDDR5 memory, edge AI capabilities and the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. Broadcom's Lewis Brewster, Vice President of Marketing for Wireless Broadband Communication, said the Sercomm 74116 platform is a highly integrated 4K streaming receiver with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 antennas, a neural processing unit for edge AI, Matter and Thread compatibility, Post-Quantum Cryptography, intelligent super scaling, multi-view displays and both Standard Dynamic Range and High Dynamic Range video and graphics. RDK President and General Manager Jason Briggs said making the device available as reference hardware is a natural extension of Sercomm's long-standing membership in the RDK community and removes a real barrier for developers who want to build, test and validate applications on RDK.

Sercomm announced a fully standards-compliant 50G PON product portfolio aimed at accelerating service providers' migration to all-fiber networks. The lineup follows ITU-T G.9804.3 specifications and supports both asymmetric 50G/25G and symmetrical 50G/50G operation, with tri-PON coexistence alongside GPON and XGS-PON over the same optical distribution network, protecting operators' existing fiber investments. The ecosystem includes high-performance residential gateways and SFP pluggable ONUs with optimized DBA, enhanced OAM and network slicing capabilities for DPoE deployment models across cable, fiber and converged access networks. Chief Commercial Officer Dan Whalen said the company is developing the 50G PON CPE portfolio to help service providers navigate the fiber transition in residential, enterprise, mobile backhaul and cable broadband markets. Sercomm will showcase the solution at SCTE TechExpo26 from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, at Booth No. I1638.
