The latest addition to the Telum 1000 line from SBS Technologies is the Telum 1001-DE DS3/E3 ATM network adapter.

The latest addition to the Telum 1000 line from SBS Technologies is the Telum 1001-DE DS3/E3 ATM network adapter The single-width full-height Telum 1001-DE adapter is designed for applications requiring full-duplex DS3/E3 ATM wide area network (WAN) connectivity such as DSLAMs, wireless networking, router/gateways, streaming video and protocol internetworking

"The Telum 1001-DE marks the second entry for SBS Technologies in the company's AdvancedMC module lineup".

"Customers are demanding the high bandwidth capabilities of PCI Express, manageability with IPMI and hot swap capabilities that existing solutions such as PMC/PTMC cannot deliver".

"We recognised the need for modular, high-performance mezzanine cards very early, introducing the industry's first WAN AdvancedMC in June of 2004", said Rubin Dhillon, General Manager of the SBS Technologies Communications Design Centre in Massachusetts.

"Our new DS3/E3 ATM AMC WAN module is the latest in a line of field-hardened ATM networking products and is part of our comprehensive line of telecomms, datacomms, Ethernet, storage and enterprise I/O modules".

The Telum 1001-DE is a PICMG AMC.0 and AMC.1 module that complies with ATM Forum UNI 3.1 and TM 4.0 specifications and is based on an advanced ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR) controller designed to optimise bus transfers.

The Telum 1001-DE supports one full-duplex ATM DS3/E3 port for protocol data unit sizes as small as two cells.

The traffic management coprocessor within the SAR supports constant bitrate (CBR) and variable bit ate (VBR) among other bitrates.

Users can assign parameters to the xBR traffic block to maximise line utilisation by automatically scheduling each virtual channel connection (VCC).

In accordance with AMC.0 specifications, an IPMI microcontroller subsystem initialises board-level parameters, monitors board voltage and temperature, maintains system status and hot-swap operations.

The channel and digital service unit (CSU/DSU) network management subsystem provides line alarm conditions and performance data monitoring statistics to help managers keep tabs on line performance.

The CSU/DSU functions run in an onboard microcontroller allowing Facilities Data Link functions to be performed in hardware rather than on the hosts system like other competing products.

SBS provides a portfolio of drivers which are based on a set of libraries, known as the Driver Development Kit (DDK).

The DDK architecture is common to all SBS WAN products and enables customers to use High-level drivers or low-level function calls for applications development.

The Telum 1001-DE product is provided with Carrier Grade Linux, VxWorks and Windows drivers as well as the comprehensive DDK.

Available now, the full-duplex Telum 1001-DE DS3/E3 ATM AMC module lists for US $1836.
