Processors combine to boost infrastructure power
A new dual-processor PowerPC PCI Mezzanine Card is aimed at telecomms infrastructure applications.
Mezzanine card lends Pentium power to telecomms
The hot-swappable KosaiPM gives telecomms OEMs an easy way to add processing power to AdvancedTCA or proprietary systems equipped with Advanced Mezzanine Card expansion bays.
Based on the core PICMG 2.x specifications that have been adopted throughout the telecommunications, enterprise and industrial markets, the CSMB also provides parallel capability with the proposed PICMG 3.x standard.
The proposed standard will enable telecomms OEMs developing applications from the access point to the network core to build a high-speed packet environment that, for the first time, will have the ability to connect to multiple networks that use asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay and proprietary protocols associated with 3G wireless applications.
Other companies lending their support to the effort and intending to participate in the mesh fabric subcommittee include Altera, Artesyn Communications Products and Wind River System
