4th Generation ATCA Products Enable Smooth Transition to HighBandwidth Applications Such as LTE, WiMAX, Femtocell Gateways and Video
Oct. 26, 2009 (Business Wire) -- RadiSys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a leading global provider of embedded computing solutions for telecommunications and other industries, today announced the RadiSys ATCA 4.0 initiative, the company’s 4th generation of AdvancedTCA (ATCA) products that are designed to support the next generation of high bandwidth applications. A first in the marketplace, this fully integrated platform features the latest technology in the industry, incorporating a 10GBASE-KR and 40GBASE-KR4 capable backplane and 40G switching capability. As Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) focus on building next generation network elements, including 4G and Broadband, the RadiSys ATCA 4.0 platform will provide them with the next generation switching, power and cooling that they require.
“As the proven leader in ATCA platform deployments, RadiSys understands the time to market pressures that our TEM customers face in the next generation mobile infrastructure market, and the technical and product decisions that they need to make now to stay in front of the market,” said Anthony Ambrose, Vice President and General Manager, Communications Networks, RadiSys. “Our 4th generation 40G platform announcement reinforces our technology leadership that we delivered in our 3rd generation 10G platform, and demonstrates how we anticipate customers’ future requirements better than any other company.”
The ATCA 4.0 40G platform follows on the heels of the 3rd generation of market-proven RadiSys platforms that enable 10G applications. The overall demand for higher bandwidth mobile data and video services continues to sustain steady growth in 3G markets, and this demand will accelerate as mobile networks deploy broadband access speeds. TEMs striving to meet this demand for 3G services and laying the groundwork for 4G networks can leverage RadiSys’ ATCA 4.0 platform solution. It is a fully backwards compatible solution, thus protecting the customer’s current investment in 3G networks, while ensuring a smooth and economical transition to the ATCA 4G environment.
“With 3G, we have already seen a fundamental shift from wireline to wireless services. The next major shift in communication technology will be to high speed Internet and data access on mobile devices, driven by next generation mobile radio access and packetized core networks,” said Lee Doyle, Vice President and General Manager, Network Infrastructure, IDC.
