Cypress Sponsors ''Next Generation Sonet Chip Development'' Online Seminar; Presentation To Be Held On Tuesday, May 28, 2002 at 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 p.m. EST.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)--May 24, 2002 Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : CY) announced today that it will host a May 28 online seminar on LightReading.com on "Next Generation Sonet Chip Development." The presentation, featuring Cypress and Agilent product managers, will identify telecom market trends fueling demand for next-generation Sonet/SDH chips, highlight recent Sonet/SDH standards now being implemented in silicon, such as Virtual Concatenation Virtual concatenation (VCAT) is an inverse multiplexing technique used to split SONET/SDH bandwidth into logical groups, which may be transported or routed independently. Alternate SONET/SDH concatenation techniques are contiguous concatenation and arbitrary concatenation. and the 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 ), and outline the functionality of SONET/MAN linecard chips such as SERDES See serializer/deserializer. , mappers, framer and switch fabric. Seminar Registration To register for this seminar, complete the form at www.lightreading.com/webinar.asp?doc_id=14962. Take care to provide all required information. Semiconductor manufacturers are rolling out next-generation Sonet/SDH silicon that promises to have a big impact on the price and performance of telecom equipment, especially in metro networks. The chips implement newly minted standards aimed at carrying packet-based traffic, notably Gigabit Ethernet, over Sonet/SDH infrastructure in far more efficient ways. The significance of these developments is enormous, because they address a key issue for carriers -- how to accommodate huge increases in Internet traffic while continuing to support the circuit-based services like telephony and leased lines that still generate most of their revenues. Speakers -- Deepak Sharma, Marketing Manager for Cypress Datacom Division -- Phil Gadd, IC Marketing Manager for Agilent's ASSP Products Division -- Simon Stanley, Principal Consultant, Earlswood Marketing Limited About Cypress Cypress Semiconductor is "Driving the Communications Revolution"(TM) with high-performance integrated circuits for network infrastructure and access equipment. Leveraging its process and system-level expertise, the company designs and manufactures solutions targeted across wireless and wireline communications. Cypress supports a wide range of industry standards, such as SONET (OC-48, OC-192 and OC-768), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), InfiniBand(TM) and Gigabit Ethernet. The company's communications product lines include programmable high-speed physical layer devices (PHYs), wirespeed network search engines (NSEs) and network coprocessors (NCPs), and datapath switching elements (DSEs). Cypress is also the industry's leader in communications timing solutions, networking-optimized communications memories and personal connectivity solutions, such as USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. and Bluetooth. Cypress is a leader in pure optical and optoelectronic technologies designed to push network transmissions to higher performance levels and to satisfy the increasing demand for network bandwidth. With a focus on emerging communications applications, Cypress aims to become the preferred silicon supplier for network infrastructure solutions and for every network data stream to pass through at least one Cypress IC. Cypress employs 4,000 people worldwide. Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) World's largest marketplace for securities. The exchange began as an informal meeting of 24 men in 1792 on what is now Wall Street in New York City. under the symbol CY.
