$AVGO just turned your router into a mini AI data center. The BCM68850 crams a neural engine, 50G speeds, and post-quantum security into a home gateway chip. Broadcom calls it the "industry's first end-to-end 50G PON edge AI portfolio," pairing it with Wi-Fi 8.
For telcos, it means monetizing the edge. Inference runs locally, not in the cloud. Bandwidth jumps from 10G to 50G. ISPs can sell AI-powered services, security bundles, and smart home tiers without building new infrastructure.
