Ample Communications and RMI Enable System Vendors to Implement High-Density Ethernet Aggregation Solutions.Interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. Solution Reduces Cost and Development Time Up to 50 Percent for Enterprises FREMONT, Calif. -- Ample Communications, a leading provider of communications silicon for wire line network systems, today announced the availability of a proven Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer aggregation solution comprised of Ample's Multiport mul·ti·port adj. Having, relating to, or being a system of multiple ports for injecting fuel separately into each cylinder of an engine. Ethernet MACs and Raza Microelectronics microelectronics, branch of electronic technology devoted to the design and development of extremely small electronic devices that consume very little electric power. [R] Inc.'s XLR XLR X-linked lymphocyte regulated XLR X-Linked Recessive (genetics) XLR Accelar (Nortel/Bay network switch) XLR Ground Left Right (digital audio) Processor[TM]. This interoperable solution enables system vendors to implement highly dense 10/100/1000 Ethernet or 10GE aggregation solutions in Internet services applications, significantly saving cost, power and board space by up to 50 percent. Together, Ample and Raza Microelectronics, Inc. (RMI (Remote Method Invocation) A standard from Sun for distributed objects written in Java. RMI is a remote procedure call (RPC), which allows Java objects (software components) stored in the network to be run remotely. ) provide vendors with the necessary tools for building a cost-effective, yet innovative next-generation system. Ample's product portfolio of Ethernet aggregation solutions range from 10/100/1000 Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. . This broad range enables networking OEMs and ODMs to build multiple versions of platforms with new line interfaces, simply by replacing Ethernet interface cards. RMI's XLR Processor eliminates the need for microcoding or proprietary programming models, and its industry-standard media interfaces provide an extensive set of connectivity options. "Our close relationship extends XLR's capability and we look forward to continuing this relationship in the future," said Lance Smith, vice president and general manager, Scalable Processor Solutions at RMI. "Our combined efforts offer a more flexible, less costly, and faster time to market solution for enterprise product development. This is critical in an industry thriving thrive intr.v. thrived or throve , thrived or thriv·en , thriv·ing, thrives 1. To make steady progress; prosper. 2. on developing cutting-edge aggregation solutions while minimizing resources, and dramatically reducing valuable development time." "Our customers benefit from knowing that Ample's Ethernet MACs are proven to work with RMI's XLR Processor, which makes platform design easier and more efficient," said Mat Steinberg, VP of business development for Ample Communications. "We offer the broadest line of proven interoperable solutions in the industry, and we will continue to help customers reduce design cycles in order to successfully deliver Internet service solutions."

(RMI[R]) is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. providing highly integrated, feature-rich products ranging from power-optimized System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solutions to High-Performance Processors for the Digital Consumer, Wireless, Networking and Security markets. RMI offers the most advanced and the most complete MIPS-Based[R] processing solutions with both 32/64-bit architectures supporting frequencies from 300MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 1.2 GHz. The company is headquartered in Cupertino, CA with subsidiary offices in Texas, India, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China.
