Fourth-generation solution provides intelligent QoS and advanced
feature set at half the power consumption MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today
announced Ultramapper(TM) II, a significant addition to the LSI(TM)
networking family of multi-service processors for radio network
controllers, base station controllers and customer premise
equipment (CPE) applications. The Ultramapper II system-on-chip
(SoC) provides a high-performance, multi- channel bridge from
network cores to metro access networks, enhances quality of service
(QoS) and cuts the operating costs of any-to-any networks. "Despite
the downturn in the global economy, demand for high-speed, high-
quality network transport will continue to grow," said Aileen
Arcilla, senior analyst for Semiconductors at IDC. "Today's
wireline and wireless networks require low-power, highly integrated
solutions that will ensure high- performance transport,
particularly for the anticipated increase in video traffic."
Optimum network performance is achievable only if QoS can be
measured in both directions on each active channel. Built for
wireless and wireline transport applications, Ultramapper II has
the power and the intelligence to deliver concurrent, real-time QoS
data to service providers across every channel in the network.
Featuring higher port density and lower power consumption than the
previous generation, its capabilities include ultra-fast,
state-of-the-art network error detection, fault isolation and
remote repair capabilities at reduced cost per port. "This device
reinforces LSI's leadership in wireless and wireline processor
technology," said Shane Gunning, product line director, Networking
Components Division, LSI. "Compared to the previous generation, the
new Ultramapper II provides customers with increased performance
and additional features at half the power consumption." Compatible
with other SoCs in the Ultramapper family and scalable across the
bandwidth spectrum from DS0 (64 kb/s) to OC-3 (155.52 Mbs),
Ultramapper II enables OEMs to leverage one design effort across
their complete line of network platforms. Standard, carrier-grade
features include 4 x OC-3 protection for Advanced Telecom Computing
Architecture (ATCA) applications, 12 x DS3/E3/EC1 terminations,
protection switching, full DS3 PMON on all twelve channels,
STS3c/STM-1C capability and simplified clocking. Ultramapper II is
expected to be available in sample quantities this quarter.
Production quantities are expected to be available in April. LSI
will showcase its wireless infrastructure solutions in stand AV53
at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 16
to 19. The LSI stand will be located in the Avenue Pavilion near
Hall 8 of the exhibition. About LSI LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) is a
