Cypress Samples Single-Chip LAN PHY for 10 Gigabit Ethernet; POSIC10GLAN Provides Enterprise Backbones With High-Bandwidth Connectivity at Low Cost.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002 Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that it is sampling POSIC POSIC Partially-Connected Ordered Successive-Interference Cancellation 10GLAN(TM) (CY7C9548-FAC), a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. PHY See physical layer and physical. that enables inter-campus and intra-campus, geographically dispersed enterprise backbones and data centers to send 10 GbE directly over optical fiber up to 40 kilometers (km). POSIC10GLAN enables the longest round-trip connection of any LAN PHY on the market (20 km under worst-case network conditions). This enables enterprises to progress to 10 GbE fiber networks, from existing lower bandwidth ATM and GbE backbones. POSIC10GLAN's large buffers enable efficient network flow control, maintaining data integrity with no packet loss under increasing network congestion. POSIC10GLAN supports industry-standard interfaces with 10 GbE sixteen-bit interface (XSBI XSBI 10 Gigabit Sixteen-Bit Interface (IEEE 802.3) XSBI Ten Gbps Sixteen Bit Interface ) on the line side and system packet interface (SPI-4.2) on the system side. "The need for low-cost, high-bandwidth enterprise backbones will drive 10 GbE deployment," said Gahan Richardson, senior product marketing manager of Cypress's Data Communications Division. "Reliability is key to 10 GbE over fiber. POSIC10GLAN, with its large buffers and efficient flow control, enables flexible network architectures with guaranteed zero packet loss." "Cypress's POSIC10GLAN provides a big boost to 10 GbE in the enterprise," said Christopher Norris, vice president of Cypress's Data Communications Division. "It enables companies to easily extend their Ethernet networks across widely dispersed campuses. It provides enterprise backbone connectivity at high bandwidth and low cost."
