Capacicom is a privately held technology company focused on high-performance physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) solutions. The company believes that future generations of FPGAs will allow for more FPGA-based products to be competitive with ASIC solutions. The initial benefit of using FPGAs is the time to market, with ongoing benefits in the form of programmability and upgradeability. Capacicoms first products target the cable headend infrastructure market with the upcoming Data over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.1 upgrades and the industrys shift to integrating the physical layer and the media access control in the node.
