Line card monitors ATM traffic
The ENP-3504 is the industry's first fully integrated PICMG 2.16, dual OC-3c ATM-to-IP gateway line card.
Line card for ATM monitoring and testing
The Radisys ENP-3504 is billed as the industry's first fully integrated PICMG 2.16, dual OC-3c ATM-to-IP gateway line card.
The ENP-3504 is also equipped with Stratum 3 clocking performance including holdover that meets Telcordia specifications.
Incorporating the needed software and processing power, clocking, and ATM to IP bridging with one module means OEMs can devote more real estate to distinctive features that differentiate their network enabled products and save months of development time.
The Radisys ENP-3504, an industry first monitoring solution announced in September 2003, is now capable of addressing line card requirements for RNC (radio network controllers) applications where ATM to IP bridging is required.

Gateways meet latest Sigtran standards
Radisys Savvi SS7 gateways are now fully conformant to the new Sigtran standards for M2UA and M3UA.
The card facilitates wire-speed protocol bridging (an interworking function) through its unique combination of hardware and pre-integrated software.
"Providing customers with proven, application ready solutions is a key strategy for Radisys", said Fred Yentz, Vice President at Radisys.
"Using our ENP-3504, OEMs can now focus on their application specific software and capabilities, so time to market and total cost of ownership is reduced".
The ENP-3504 offers the most comprehensive suite of protocols assuring customers' compatibility and adherence to telecommunications and industrial computing applications specifications.
This compliance means designers can develop, optimise and debug advanced networking products for wireless infrastructure and multiservice provisioning platforms, faster and at a lower cost.
The ENP-3504 features compliance to Telcordia specifications including Stratum 3, holdover, and automatic protection switch (APS).
The ENP-3504 is equipped with an Intel IXP network processor with StrongARM core and six multithreaded micro-engines, which enable wire speed packet processing.
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 daughtercard (PMC).
The ENP-3504 features two PICMG 2.16 compliant 10/100 Ethernet ports to enable redundancy.
Software for the ENP-3504 includes application software, a Linux support package and support for development tools.
The RadiSys ENP-3504 is available immediately and priced at US $6250.
