Cypress Samples Industry's First 2.5 Gbps Channelized GFP SONET/SDH Framer For Resilient Packet Ring Protocol.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2003 POSIC POSIC Partially-Connected Ordered Successive-Interference Cancellation 2G(TM) Ideal for High-Speed, Convergent, Multi-Service Applications Over SONET in Metro and Wide Area Networks Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that it is sampling the POSIC2G(TM) framer (CY7C9537), the industry's first 2.5 Gbps 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. SONET/SDH framer with Generic Framing Procedure Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) is defined by ITU-T G.7041. This allows mapping of variable length, higher-layer client signals over a transport network like SDH/SONET. The client signals can be protocol data unit (PDU) oriented (like IP/PPP or Ethernet Media Access Control) or can (GFP GFP Green Fluorescent Protein GFP Generic Framing Procedure GFP Government Furnished Property GFP Generic Frame Protocol GFP General Framing Procedure GFP Global Functional Plane GFP Global Field Power GFP Grandmothers for Peace GFP Glutton for Punishment ). POSIC2G provides support for both resilient packet ring See RPR. (RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) A packet-based protocol that provides fault tolerance and statistical multiplexing for the metropolitan and national SONET and Ethernet networks of the carriers. ) protocol operation at OC-48/STM-16 (2.5 Gbps) rates and for advanced solutions for existing data transport infrastructure. This addition broadens Cypress's packet-over-SONET integrated circuit (POSIC(TM)) portfolio of framers and further demonstrates Cypress's commitment to the framer market by optimizing voice, data, multimedia and cost-effective Ethernet services over SONET/SDH networks. The POSIC2G framer supports efficient RPR mapping with GFP, providing an increase in effective data bandwidth compared with other encapsulating protocols such as 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. . GFP is a method of encapsulating any protocol -- including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Enterprise System Connection (ESCON (Enterprise Systems CONnection) An IBM S/390 fiber-optic channel that transfers 17 Mbytes/sec over distances up to 60 km depending on connection type. ESCON allows peripheral devices to be located across large campuses and metropolitan areas. ) and Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) -- for transport over a SONET/SDH network. Using the POSIC2G framer in GFP mode, RPR packets transparently travel within the SONET/SDH frame over the existing telecommunications infrastructure. Channelization chan·nel·ize tr.v. chan·nel·ized, chan·nel·iz·ing, chan·nel·iz·es 1. To make, form, or cut channels in. 2. To direct through a channel. enables service providers to configure a number of individual channels that subdivide TO SUBDIVIDE. To divide a part of a thing which has already been divided. For example, when a person dies leaving children, and grandchildren, the children of one of his own who is dead, his property is divided into as many shares as he had children, including the deceased, and the share the bandwidth of a larger interface (OC-48). This provides better Quality of Service (QoS) options for client traffic and simplifies the design and operation of network equipment. "The POSIC2G device offers a flexible platform solution for our framer requirements," said Philip Kruzinski, director of hardware engineering at Luminous Networks. "It has simplified our linecard design, helping us to reduce our time-to-market with industry leading RPR systems." "The metro bottleneck will only get worse as more services such as voice-over-IP, video and data-centric computing, become ubiquitous," said Deepak Sharma, marketing manager of Cypress's Data Communications Division. "By enabling RPR implementations, the POSIC2G framer allows support of the newer services while simultaneously supporting traditional carrier-class features such as resiliency, restoration and quality of service." Resilient packet ring technology is designed for efficient transport of packet data over a ring topology. This technology simultaneously supports traditional carrier-class features such as performance monitoring, resiliency, and data restoration, while offering newer services for packet data and latency sensitive traffic. Operating at Layer 2 (data link), RPR allows service providers to harness the capacity of SONET/SDH and empowers them to offer profitable Ethernet services. POSIC Framers The POSIC2G device is the most recent addition to Cypress's portfolio of POSIC SONET/SDH framers. The POSIC2G framer is pin compatible with the revolutionary POSIC2GVC(TM) device, enabling a risk free migration of designs to next-generation features. The POSIC2GVC OC-48/STM-16 framer provides virtual concatenation per ITU G.707.
