AMCC Shows ATCA-Based, Multiservice Evaluation Platform

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) is introducing an ATCA standards-based Multiservice Evaluation platform for OEMs developing packet and cell-based switching chassis gear. The platform includes a Control Processor, Network Processor, Packet/Cell-based Switch,
Framers, and SERDES functions. Targer applications could include multiservice switch/routers, wireline access (DSLAM, CMTS, Media Gateway), wireless access (RNC, GGSN, SGSN), metro aggregation (MSPP), and data center (WLAN, L4-7) platforms. Key elements of the platform include a network processor-based ATCA line card and a 80G-based ATCA packet/cell switch card. http://www.amcc.com/ATCA/
