generation, distribution and control Today at the Embedded Systems
Conference in San Jose, California, SBS Technologies(R), (NASDAQ:
SBSE), a leading designer and manufacturer of modular communication
solutions, announced the expansion of its telecommunications
product line with an AdvancedTCA carrier blade series. The SBS
AT-AMC1 and AT-AMC2 carrier blades are capable of hosting two
double-wide or four single-wide AdvancedMC modules to create
application-specific blades from standard off-the-shelf SBS
Telum(TM) modules and other third-party AdvancedMC cards. The
AT-AMC series of carrier blades are ideal for system designers
creating high-performance telecommunications solutions using
AdvancedMC modules with specific networking features such as
LAN/WAN and storage I/O capabilities. SBS Telum AdvancedMC modules
allow AdvancedTCA servers to be optimized for next-generation IMS
(IP Multimedia Subsystem) and FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence)
IP-centric applications. "These ATCA AMC.1 and AMC.2-compliant
carrier blades allow our customers to build high-speed
telecommunication applications that take advantage of Gigabit
Ethernet and PCI Express technology. The modular architecture of
the AdvancedTCA platform allows our customers to build with the
latest processor and I/O AdvancedMCs today as well as allowing them
to upgrade the systems with new technologies in the future as their
applications evolve," said Rubin Dhillon, VP of Communications and
Enterprise for SBS. AT-AMC1 Carrier Blade This AMC.1-compliant
carrier blade supports half-height, full-height and extended
full-height AdvancedMC modules. It features two Gigabit Ethernet
ports to the base interface and four Gigabit Ethernet ports (2
channels, 2 ports per channel) to the fabric interface of the
AdvancedTCA backplane, allowing configuration flexibility for dual
star topology. The AT-AMC1 features three AdvancedMC bays
supporting x4 PCIe interfaces and one AdvancedMC bay supporting an
x8 PCIe interface, plus two Gigabit Ethernet lanes to each
AdvancedMC bay in the Common Options region. AT-AMC2 Carrier Blade
This carrier blade supports half-height, full-height and extended
full-height AdvancedMC modules. It features two Gigabit Ethernet
ports to the base interface and ten Gigabit Ethernet ports (4
channels, with 4,4,1,1 port distribution) to the fabric interface
of the AdvancedTCA backplane, allowing configuration flexibility
for dual star or full mesh topologies. The AT-AMC2 features x4
Gigabit Ethernet lanes to all AdvancedMC bays on lanes 4 - 7 and
two Gigabit Ethernet lanes to each AdvancedMC bay in the Common
Options region. To protect customer investment, the onboard IPMI
v1.5-compliant Carrier IPMC subsystem on all carrier blades is
firmware upgradeable to IPMI v2.0. The Carrier IPMC monitors board
voltage and temperature conditions, maintains system status, and
provides hot swap support. Flexibility & Modularity The
AdvancedMC architecture has gained significant traction in multiple
applications and markets. The AMC.0 standard has been developed to
enable flexibility in the architecture of systems using AdvancedMC
modularity. The AT-AMC1 and AT-AMC2 products support half-height,
full-height and extended-full-height AdvancedMC modules. Extended
full-height is particularly useful for high port density AdvancedMC
I/O modules such as the Telum 628, 8-port T1/E1/J1. Future
configurations will support the emerging mid-size AdvancedMC module
form factor. In keeping with environmental policies, a
RoHS-compliant version will be made available. Price and
Availability: List price starts at US$1,850. The AT-AMC1 and
AT-AMC2 will be available in limited samples in Q2 and volume
quantities in Q3 2006. About SBS Technologies(R) SBS Technologies,
