HSINCHU, Taiwan – October 13, 2025 – Realtek Semiconductor will participate in Network X 2025 (October 14~16, 2025), an event being held in Paris, France, that will bring together over five thousand people from all over the world, including senior network infrastructure and service professionals from telcos, leading vendors, industry bodies, governments, analysts, and media to showcase the latest trending products, solutions, and services. Realtek will exhibit its high-performance 2.5G Ethernet switch solution and best-in-class xPON broadband solutions to drive technological progress and innovation in the communications industry.
High-Performance 2.5G Ethernet Switch Solution
With continuous breakthroughs in generative AI and multimodal large models, AI applications are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly widespread across enterprises, homes, and IoT devices. Traditional 1GbE networks can no longer meet the growing bandwidth demands of emerging AI applications, making the upgrade to 2.5GbE an inevitable market trend. Realtek Semiconductor continues to lead the market with the launch of its next-generation 2.5G Ethernet switch solution, featuring 2.5GbE downlink bandwidth and 10GbE uplink bandwidth to meet the high-bandwidth requirements of AI applications at the edge. The Realtek 2.5GbE switch solution delivers high integration, low power consumption, and broad compatibility, making it the ideal choice for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 high-bandwidth scenarios. By providing strong support for next-generation Wi-Fi 6/7 routers, Realtek offers the optimal solution to empower the AI-driven, high-performance networking era.
Best-in-Class xPON Broadband Solutions
In addition to GE and 2.5G PON products, Realtek has developed high-speed 10G and 25G xPON solutions to meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, providing a comprehensive xPON broadband portfolio that addresses diverse customer needs across a wide range of applications. Realtek’s xPON solutions can also be paired with Wi-Fi products—for example, the 2.5G PON SoC supports SFU & HGU devices equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7. Realtek also offers industrial-grade XGS-PON solutions, capable of supporting SFU and HGU Wi-Fi 7 applications within an extended operating temperature range. The Realtek xPON portfolio further integrates xPON, Wi-Fi, LDD, Ethernet Switch, PHY, and a complete SDK, delivering an end-to-end solution for xPON product development. Realtek’s subsidiary, Cortina Access, has introduced XGS-PON HGU solutions supporting multiple 10G interfaces, equipped with high-performance PCIe connectivity, and enabling Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 tri-band applications. In addition, Cortina’s 25G PON ONU solution, developed under the 25GS-PON Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), has successfully enabled leading North American operators to deliver unprecedented 25G fiber access, completing a full-scale FTTx chipset solution.
"Realtek's complete and efficient 2.5G Ethernet switch and xPON broadband network solutions not only provide a superior network experience for individual and enterprise users but also offer competitive advantages to network operators," said Yee-Wei Huang, Realtek's vice president and spokesman. "Realtek meets customer demands for various bandwidth applications and provides optimal solutions for AI applications."
