AMCC Accelerates Delivery of the Industry's High-Density CES Offering; End-to-End Converged Network Solution Validated with Zarl
December 11 2006 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) (NASDAQ:AMCC) today announced
the results of successful interoperability testing between the
company�s Circuit Emulation Services-over-Packet (CES) technology
and Zarlink� Semiconductor�s ZL� 5011x family of CES access
solutions. The combination of the highest-density CES device on the
market from AMCC and Zarlink�s proven CES expertise will uniquely
enable system vendors and carriers to build efficient, scalable (up
to multiple OC-3 / OC-12) solutions for legacy T1/E1 and
revenue-driven applications. The success of this collaboration is
attributed to a focus on real-world network measurements and
compliance with SAToP and G.8261 standards. As a result, AMCC and
Zarlink are able to provide accurate technical results to customers
for next-generation system designs. �By combining our companies�
CES technologies and leveraging AMCC�s long-established networking
expertise, we are providing our customers with the best solutions
for all of their system design needs,� said Peter Burke, senior
vice president and general manager, Network Communications, Zarlink
Semiconductor. �The demonstrated interoperability of our
technologies gives customers the benefit of a complete converged
end-to-end network solution while still using best-in-class
components and technologies at each stage.� AMCC�s CES technology
delivers the highest density levels on the market today,
representing a multi-generational leap in integration as well as
real estate and power savings. AMCC�s CES solution leverages the
company�s successful MISSION� and MISSION� Access chipsets, as well
as AMCC�s expertise and leadership position in the packet
processing market. Furthermore, AMCC�s ability to mix CES and MSP
data traffic in the same solution (MLPP, PPP, IMA), enables
customers to reduce overall system design costs and achieve real
convergence of legacy T1/E1s via IP networks. Collaborative work on
these converged network solutions allows customers to easily scale
their systems to meet emerging design requirements by utilizing the
same core of AMCC hardware and software for OC-3, 2xOC-3, 4xOC-3
and OC-12 data rates. Densities beyond OC-12 can be achieved by
adding OC-12 �slices� that require a significantly lower chip
count, real estate and power budget, thereby driving down
development costs for customers. �By leveraging our successful
MISSION and MISSION Access chipsets, we continue to enable the
convergence of data and TDM/voice over the same data connection and
support the development of more flexible line cards,� said Sam
Fuller, vice president of marketing for AMCC. �Networked systems
demand complete solutions that are capable of delivering advanced
services while providing backward compatibility for the existing
infrastructure. AMCC delivers on all fronts, while supplying the
CES industry with the highest density solution on the market.�
Since system-level features have been proven during the testing
demonstration, device-interconnect debug is minimized, which
translates into overall reduced time-to-market. The validation of
AMCC�s SAToP functionality and system configuration provides
flexibility for customers to transport CES traffic through AMCC�s
platform. Availability AMCC�s CES device is currently alpha
sampling with general availability beginning in Q1 2007. An
AMCC�Zarlink CES interoperability testing report is available for
qualified customers. Zarlink�s complete platform of high- and
low-density CESoP devices is currently available; for details visit
