Business Wire
Broad range of Telum(TM) AdvancedMC(TM) products provide telecom
equipment manufacturers and OEMs extensive communications I/O and
processor-based application versatility and performance Today at
SuperComm(R) 2005, SBS Technologies(R)(NASDAQ: SBSE), a market
leader in embedded computer technology, introduced the newest
members of its Telum AdvancedMC line of input and output (I/O) and
processor modules. This product introduction significantly
increases the number of application options for telecommunications
equipment manufacturers (TEMs) in creating high performance,
carrier grade network applications featuring Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
processors. The tight integration of SBS AdvancedMC modules with
AdvancedTCA(R) and proprietary architectures will provide TEMs and
OEMs with high performance processing power and extensive I/O
options, enabling quick time-to-market application deployment. SBS
now offers not only a complete line of I/O and processor
AdvancedMCs, but also an AdvancedMC module chassis and an
AdvancedMC expansion chassis designed to integrate seamlessly with
SBS' Telum line. This AdvancedMC line will also fully support the
MicroTCA(TM) platform when the PICMG(R) specification has been
completed. "SBS is further extending its leadership position with
this comprehensive introduction of AdvancedMC communications I/O
products. We are committed to supporting our customers' need to get
their next generation products to market quicker with proven
technology and a supply chain they can count on," said Dave Greig,
President and COO of SBS Technologies. AdvancedMC is real and
available today SBS Telum products range from world-class
telecommunications grade I/O to processor AdvancedMC modules. The
Telum line from SBS now offers Intel Pentium M processor power
complemented by video and communications support for Gigabit
Ethernet, Fiber Channel, T1, E1, J1, OC3, DS3, E3, OC12, including:
-- Telum 624/628-TEJ WAN edge access I/O module -- Telum
1001-O12M/S and Telum 1004-O3M/S ATM modules -- Telum GE-QT Gigabit
Ethernet NIC -- Telum FC2312-AMC-FF and Telum FC2312-AMC-CC HBA
cards -- Telum 2001-VGA card -- Telum 1001-O3 and Telum 1001-DE
module (previously released) -- Telum ASLP10 processor module
Together these 10 cards make Telum the most comprehensive line of
AdvancedMC modules available to date. At SuperComm 2005, SBS is
also introducing a PCI-Express to AdvancedMC chassis-the
PCIE-AMC-7S. The PCIE-AMC-7S allows PCI-Express-based workstations
or servers to control a backplane populated with hot swappable
AdvancedMC modules plugged directly into a backplane. This chassis
will enable workstations to take advantage of the AdvancedMC cards
available today. Today, SBS is also introducing the AMC-7S, a 2U
19-inch AdvancedMC standalone chassis that can be controlled by a
Processor AdvancedMC plugged directly into its backplane. This
passive backplane system will allow a computer to be built
exclusively from AdvancedMC modules. SBS introduced its first
AdvancedMC Telum product at SuperComm 2004 last year, and in one
short year SBS AdvancedMC offerings have grown to this complete
line of products ranging from WAN I/O and a processor module to
chassis solutions. SBS AdvancedMC products are based on the
Company's many years of I/O and processor board experience. The
introduction of a full AdvancedMC line allows SBS to fill out the
rest of the AdvancedTCA picture with leading edge connectivity
technology that delivers the high performance advantages of the
AdvancedTCA architecture to its customers-advantages that translate
into real competitive features and options for advanced
communication, high speed data transport, WAN I/O, edge base
stations, and storage interface technology. "As a fully engaged
member of the Intel(R) Communications Alliance, SBS Technologies is
helping to make the AdvancedTCA ecosystem successful," said Kevin
D. Johnson, director of the Intel Communications Alliance. "The
impressive number of SBS AdvancedMC products released at SuperComm
2005 is ample proof of their commitment." AdvancedMC technology,
however, isn't limited to the AdvancedTCA architecture. Proprietary
blades and carrier boards designed for specific central office
applications and other high performance requirements are natural
venues for SBS AdvancedMC modules. Whether TEMs have already
migrated to an open architecture like AdvancedTCA, or maintain
their own proprietary chassis architecture, SBS mezzanine options
such as PMC and AdvancedMC make it easy for them to lower their
costs and reduce their time-to-market by taking advantage of the
latest high performance high availability cards. Today, SBS is also
announcing development of an AdvancedMC carrier blade for the
IBM(R) eServer BladeCenter(TM) product line, capable of using up to
4 AdvancedMC modules to create application-specific blades from
off-the-shelf Telum modules. SBS Technologies is OEM- and
Integrator-focused and determined to support its customers with
exceptional dedication to short lead times, competitive pricing,
strict adherence to quality standards and product lifecycle
management. Our communications product lines optimize AdvancedMC,
PMC, CompactPCI(R), and AdvancedTCA form factors by incorporating
those features that are most important to TEMs and OEM customers.
SBS Technologies knows that successful communications products need
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) criteria adherence, system
manageability, redundancy, failover and high availability (where
applicable), Carrier Grade Linux(R) support and RoHS compliance
among other essential system requirements. Of course, great
AdvancedMC products from SBS won't stop here. SBS is committed to
producing world-class AdvancedMC products that the
telecommunication, data center and other markets need. SBS
Technologies has been a major participant in the embedded board
industry for over 20 years and has been a member of the AdvancedMC
subcommittee since its inception, and an active participant on the
AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.0 committee. SBS is a Silver Member with the
