The RadiSys ENP-3504 is a Fully Integrated, High Performance Module Enabling
Wire Speed Monitoring of ATM Data and RNC Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif. and BOSTON, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at
the Intel Developer Forum (San Jose) and the Embedded Systems Conference
(Boston), RadiSys Corp. (Nasdaq: RSYS) announced the RadiSys ENP-3504, the
industry's first fully integrated PICMG 2.16, dual OC-3c ATM-to-IP gateway
line card. The ENP-3504 is an intelligent packet-processing engine, ideal for
use in products that monitor and test OC-3c lines for ATM data and RNC
applications, at wire speed. The ENP-3504 offers OEMs a high performance
solution by providing protocol acceleration in a network processor. Adding the
ENP-3504 to the product mix, RadiSys now provides a complete line of PICMG
2.xx products including integrated platforms, blade servers, SS7 adapters and
E1/T1 line cards.
The demand for flexible packet processing in communications systems is
increasing as the communications and computer convergence continues and
network-enabled products proliferate. This combined with the wireless
industry's transition to data means new methods of testing and monitoring
network equipment are needed. The RadiSys ENP-3504 facilitates wire speed
monitoring through its unique combination of hardware and integrated software.
To achieve wire speed monitoring and test capability in their products,
manufacturers would need to develop unique, high-performance software code and
several line cards to accommodate the significant processing power required.
By incorporating the RadiSys ENP-3504, which is equipped with embedded
software, into their designs developers can achieve the needed processing
power with one module, saving them time and money.
"The ENP-3504 builds on our popular family of IXP-based products and adds
significant functionality to our line of PICMG 2.16 products," said Fred
Yentz, vice president for RadiSys. "Monitoring high speed optical links is
very important to assure quality of service in the network. Having a ready-
made solution like the ENP-3504 for monitoring ATM traffic helps customers
develop better solutions faster and at a lower cost."
Using the RadiSys ENP-3504, designers can develop, optimize and debug
advanced networking products for wireless infrastructure and multi-service
provisioning platforms. The ENP-3504 offers a comprehensive suite of protocols
bundled with the hardware, including ATM, AAL-2/SSSAR, AAL-5/CPCS, assuring
customers compatibility and adherence to telecommunications and industrial
computing applications specifications. With one module, designers can now
implement filtering and monitoring of AAL2 and AAL5 streams into their
products.
About the RadiSys ENP-3504
The ENP-3504 is equipped with an Intel(R) IXP network processor with
StrongARM core and six multithreaded microengines, which are capable of wire
speed packet analysis, processing and forwarding. The card features eight
10/100 Base T Ethernet connections, which are accessible through a rear
transition module. The ENP-3504 also provides a dual OC-3c optical interface
to the IXP network via an OC-3c daughter card (PMC). The ENP-3504 features two
PICMG 2.16 compliant 10/100 Ethernet ports to enable redundancy. Software for
the ENP-3504 includes firmware, bearer-plane applications for the IXP1240, a
Linux support package and support for development tools.
Pricing and Availability
The RadiSys ENP-3504 is available immediately and priced at $6,250 (US).
OEM quantities and pricing are available. Please contact RadiSys at
