Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ: INPH), a leading global provider of
solutions for converged communications networks, announces the new
high-density iSPAN®
3640 AdvancedMC High-Performance T1/E1/J1 Controller for use in
AdvancedTCA® (ATCA) and MicroTCA (µTCA) platforms. Via its 8
T1/E1/J1 interfaces, the iSPAN 3640 supports SS7 MTP2, ATM AAL5, SSCOP
and SSCF protocols, up to 248 SS7 Low Speed Links, 8 High Speed Links,
or 248 media channels, and thus dramatically optimizes the system slot
usage. Using its high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) interface or its
Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connectivity to a host processor, the iSPAN 3640
enables rapid exchange of payload information, making it ideal for a
broad spectrum of signaling applications such as signaling gateways,
wireless network control elements, and media servers/gateways. With its
high-impedance line interfaces and monitoring software, the iSPAN 3640
is also the perfect solution for SS7 monitoring services applications.
This is the latest addition to the Interphase portfolio of best-in-class
intelligent communication controllers, which includes COTS designs
in most standard form-factors to meet your immediate design needs. The
iSPAN 3640 is designed to provide intelligent network interfaces for
application platforms that need to connect to TDM/ATM networks. It
features the powerful Freescale MPC8568 PowerQUICC III QUICC Engines
processor. Hardware is available in mid-size and full-size AMC.0 R2.0,
in front- and rear-access configurations. The iSPAN 3640 comes with a
reliable and field-proven iWARE®
Software Development Suite (SDS), including on-board support for
multiple network protocols.
In addition to our COTS solutions for connectivity,
interworking,
and packet
processing, Interphase welcomes the opportunity to serve our
customers with expert
customization, integration, and contract manufacturing.
