FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 - ATCA Packet Processing

Targeting the needs of 3G Wireless and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) markets, FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 provides telecom equipment manufacturers with deep packet inspection capabilities to support advanced content-aware routing and security functions required by multi-service IP networks. The blade is engineered to meet the application needs of next generation infrastructure including IPTV, radio network controllers (RNC), security gateways, session border controllers, WiMAX base station aggregation, and wireless xGSNs.

The PP50 provides superior performance via one or two discrete multi-core MIPS64 packet processors. Each processor provides 8 multi-threaded cores and contains a built-in security co-processor capable of handling up to 10Gbps of bulk encryption / decryption (20Gbps per blade). The PP50 supports each processor with up to 8GB of memory (16GB per blade) as well as access to a TCAM and content-based processors via mezzanines. TCAM is especially important for very high performance IPv6 routing platforms.

The PP50 interconnects the processors, I/O, and backplane fabrics using a non-blocking 10GbE switch. Each RMI XLR732 processor is provided with two 10GbE ports to the switch providing full duplex 10GbE capabilities. External I/O is supported over a dual redundant 10GbE backplane fabric (PICMG 3.1.9) as well as through direct connection to 10GbE and 1GbE ports on the front or rear depending on a customer's specific cabling requirements.

Coupled with Continuous Computing's FlexTCA Systems, optimized Trillium control and data plane protocol software, and integrated professional services, the PP50 provides the fastest path from application development to deployment revenue. From IPTV to Wireless Core Networks, the PP50 is the blade of choice for deploying a wide range of high-performance, scalable telecom applications.
