"Interphase is expanding its product offering with the high performance packet accelerator products in partnership with Cavium Networks' industry leading OCTEON Plus processor architecture," said Prasad Kallur, Vice President, Strategic Marketing at Interphase Corporation. "As the telecommunications networks transition to a packet based network, the need for line rate secure packet processing, packet inspection, classification, and QOS support is the foundation for the delivery of high performance network elements for the emerging 3G/4G wireless, IMS and IPTV network architectures."

The iSPAN 36CA and iSPAN 55CA packet accelerator products are ideal modules for use across a wide variety of applications including ASN Gateways and Base Stations in WIMAX networks, Radio Network Controllers, Packet Access Gateways and Gateway GPRS Service Nodes in Wideband-CDMA 3G/HSPA/LTE networks and security and content inspection appliances.

Cavium Networks' industry leading OCTEON family of multi-core processors, with low power and high packet processing performance, provide integrated hardware acceleration engines for security and data content, co-processors for TCP offload, Anti-Virus, IDS, compression and decompression, advanced Layer4+ hardware acceleration and future proof software compatibility, making them the ideal choice for a wide range of packet processing applications in the network.

The AMC 2.0 compliant iSPAN 36CA, with quad Gigabit Ethernet and PCI-e x4 connectivity on the AdvancedMC connector, is offered with up to 1GB of memory and up to 32MB of optional 16 bit RLDRAM memory, and is suitable for usage in a wide variety of AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA based application platforms.

The iSPAN 55CA is an intelligent full-size PCI-x quad Gigabit Ethernet network interface card, with PCI-x connectivity to the host and a SPI4.2 connector for back to back connectivity of cards. It is offered with up to 4GB of memory and up to 32MB of optional 16 bit RLDRAM memory, and is suitable for use with enterprise class and carrier grade rack mount server platforms.

Both products will be delivered with a modular software offering including operating system, software development toolset and fast path data processing modules.

In addition to the iSPAN 36CA and 55CA products Interphase offers a broad range of AdvancedMC, AdvancedTCA, PCI-x/PCI-e and PMC modules. The Interphase portfolio of products will be showcased at the AdvancedTCA Summit 2007 being held at the Santa Clara Convention Centre in Santa Clara, California from October 16 to 18th, 2007.
