AMCC Reaffirms Its Commitment to the G.709 Standard With the Enhancement of 10 Gbps Digital Wrapper Chip.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2001 AMCC's Hudson is Now Compliant With the Recently Ratified G.709 Standard and Offers Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. Mapping for More Flexibility With Transparent Transport Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation AMCC Air Mobility Control Center AMCC Ashore Mobile Contingency Communications AMCC Advanced Materials Commercialization Center AMCC allied movement coordination center (US DoD) ) (Nasdaq:AMCC) today announced the availability of the latest generation Hudson Chip (S19203); a 10 Gbps FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction device architected to support the G.709 digital wrapper standard and traditional SONET/SDH infrastructures. The Hudson device now features enhanced functionality with asynchronous mapping, allowing customers to build systems that will enable the transparent transport of signals. Transparent transport allows for a seamless WAN Transport network that is more easily and more cost effectively managed. The Hudson, which has proven successful in the MAN, transport and WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. sectors, easily interfaces with AMCC's S19206 mux/demux device; the S3097/98 and S3091/92 transmitter/receivers chipsets; and Mekong (S19204), an OC-192 SONET/SDH framing and pointer processor device. This offering reinforces AMCC's commitment to provide complete solutions for the world's optical networks. "AMCC has strongly supported the emergence of the G.709 standard and recognized its impact on the optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. industry," said Neal Neslusan, AMCC's marketing director of digital transport products. "With the introduction of our latest generation Hudson, we are now able to offer a digital wrapper chip that not only complies with this newly defined standard, but also provides our customers with asynchronous mapping for designing cost effective interoperable systems." The Hudson variable rate, digital wrapper framer/deframer and PMON/FEC device facilitates the transparent transport of multiple protocols across the network, while aiding interconnection between multiple carriers. Hudson incorporates programmable Forward Error Correction A communications technique that can correct bad data on the receiving end. Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction. If the transmitted message is received in error, the correction bits are used to repair it. (FEC) for rates up to 11.1 Gbps and supports OC-192 transmission standards. The digital wrapper technology provides an extension of the current SONET/SDH infrastructure, while enhancing both flexibility and transparency across the network.
