Adax Unveils High Density AMC Signaling Controller.

CHICAGO -- Adax Inc., an industry leader in high-performance signaling infrastructure, today unveiled the company's first AdvancedMC protocol controller card, the HDCII-AMC. Previously available in PMC, PCI, and PCIe versions, the HDCII-AMC is ideal for I/O intensive telecom applications, enhancing the robust features of the HDCII with the increased flexibility and performance offered by AMC and ATCA. E[acute accent]The HDCII-AMC is a high density narrowband channelized controller designed for wireless, wireline and converging PSTN/IP network platforms. The full height AMC card supports traditional SS7, Annex A HSL, and SCTP acceleration protocols. E[acute accent]The HDCII-AMC I/O card offers TEMs a versatile platform for building modular telecom systems that can be quickly and cost-effectively designed, manufactured, scaled, upgraded and serviced. Up to four HDCII-AMC modules can be mounted with an AdvanctedTCA carrier card for a high density ATCA signaling blade. In addition, the HDCII-AMC is hot swappable, allowing service providers to upgrade their ATCA systems without removing entire blades. The HDCII-AMC also supports multi-protocol interfaces and IPMI system management, thus providing the flexibility and high availability essential to providing a reliable, adaptable network. These benefits enable TEMs to focus their time and efforts on applications rather than platforms, thus restoring the TEM's competitive advantage while lowering costs to the Operator. E[acute accent]The HDCII-AMC is dynamically configurable and can deliver up to 124 channels of multiple protocols including SS7 MTP2, SCTP acceleration, LAPB/D/V5, Frame Relay, X.25 and HDLC per card. In addition, since the Adax HDC driver software is consistent across all HDCII board formats, existing Adax customers can seamlessly transition to the HDCII-AMC without altering their current applications. E[acute accent]The superior density and high performance of the HDCII-AMC make it particularly suitable for demanding telecommunications applications that require high capacity and throughput, including: Signaling Gateways, Media Gateway Controllers, and SGSN, GGSN, MSC, HLR/VLR and BSS nodes in Next Generation Networks. General availability of the HDCII-AMC is scheduled for Q3 2006.
