Adax Debuts Leading High Density Channelized 'HDC' Multi-Protocol Platform at Supercomm 2000; Latest Product Executes up to 128 Independent Protocol Streams.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Supercomm 2000 BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2000 Adax debuts the telecommunication industry's most forward-thinking product: the High Density Channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. (HDC (Hard Disk Controller) See disk controller. HDC - Disk Controller ) multi-protocol platform. This latest addition to the Adax arsenal has the ability to execute 128 independent protocol streams with up to either 32 channels of the SS7 protocol, or 128 channels of Frame Relay, LAPD 1. LAPD - Link Access Procedure on the D channel. 2. LAPD - Los Angeles Police Department. , LAPB LAPB - Link Access Protocol Balanced , LAP F, LAP V5.2, HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. or X.25, or, any combination of the above. This takes place on time division multiplexed (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) DS0 channels and 4 T1/E1 trunks on a single PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). or cPCI board. "Adax designed the HDC-cPCI in anticipation of the protocol tasks that have not yet been defined, yet will surely appear in this frantically evolving communications sector," said Adax Inc. President Barry Zuckerman Ph.D. "The HDC-cPCI card is designed for the next generation IN systems as it sets a new standard in performance for communications processes in wireless, telco, mobile IP and advanced datacom applications." Among the HDC's benefits are high performance and reliability. The HDC's unique on-board processors allow many thousands of transactions per second In a very generic sense, the term Transactions Per Second refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In a more restrictied view, the term is usually used by DBMS vendor and user community to refer to the number of database transactions performed to occur and provide efficient bandwidth management, thus freeing up the host CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , maximizing its processing power for the higher layers and applications. The HDC does all this without compromising the reliability that the telecommunications market requires. The HDC card provides a scalable solution for telco, industrial, and other high reliability applications, as the H.110 bus allows for the cross connection of multiple boards. Simultaneously, the high port density of the HDC card reduces slot space, resulting in a cost effective solution. Four slots in a chassis result in as many as 512 channels of processing. HDC has hot swap and hot plug capabilities and can be removed from service without interrupting the higher layers and applications in process. For existing Adax customers, the HDC board preserves investment through a software transparent path and common APIs, resulting in a smooth migration path. This, coupled with common interfaces provides flexible and portable solutions for customers. The HDC card guarantees fastest time to market through simplicity of design and a modular approach. Presently, the HDC is available for the Sun Solaris operating system and will be available for most of the main UNIX operating systems, including: HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. , AIX, Unixware, Linux, as well as Windows NT. The T1 or E1 connections are provided to the HDC board by an Adax Network Controller Card, PMC-QCX, which also provides the CSU/ DSU functionality. The HDC board provides access to all the DS0s in a trunk line. It accepts incoming T1/E1 lines via the QCX daughter card and breaks the data into 32 DS0s (E1), which can then be flexibly allocated for either data, telephony or multimedia applications. The HDC board provides flexible allocation of the DS0s from 1 to 32 per logical link and allows the DS0s to be combined for increased bandwidth.
