4532 PMC ATM Over OC-3/STM-1

Communications Controller is designed for carrier-

class telecommunication networks supporting

the most demanding ATM applications including

broadband Internet access, second and third

generation wireless, ‘converged’ next generation

networks (i.e. softswitch environments), and

integrated voice and data over carrier and

enterprise ATM backbones. Its support for ATM

to Ethernet interworking capability provides

telco system OEMs with a gateway-on-a-card

solution for bridging dissimilar technologies. This

capability allows carriers to cost-effectively migrate

existing communications infrastructure to newer

technologies and enables future-proofi ng of new

equipment deployments.

This ready-to-use, intelligent OC-3/STM-1 ATM line

interface is fully standards-compliant and features

software development tools to facilitate immediate

integration into CompactPCI

®

, VME, or custom

telecommunications platforms. In addition, the 4532

allows direct connection to SONET or SDH facilities,

eliminating the need for additional line termination

equipment. Featuring a powerful MPC8260A

on-board RISC processor, high performance

architecture, and advanced ATM functionality, the

4532 is the industry’s best choice for a 155 Mbps

PMC I/O solution in high-availability servers driving

next-generation wireless, convergence, and

broadband access telecom applications.
