MontaVista Carrier Grade Edition Available for Emerson Network Power's AdvancedTCA Blades; Emerson Demos CGE in MontaVista's Booth #1603 at Freescale Technology Forum.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- MontaVista Software, Inc., the leading embedded Linux provider for the telecommunications, mobile, and embedded markets, today announced the availability of MontaVista Carrier Grade Edition (CGE CGE Computable General Equilibrium CGE Conference des Grandes Ecoles (French) CGE Carrier Grade Edition (COTS Linux platform) CGE Classic Gaming Expo (game) ) for Emerson Network Power, Embedded Computing's KatanaQp AdvancedTCA blades and PmPPC7448 ProcessorPMC modules. Emerson will demonstrate MontaVista CGE running on its blades and modules in MontaVista's Booth #1603 at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida, beginning July 24th, 2006. "MontaVista Linux CGE is the operating system platform of choice for many Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) who want to outsource their system design and leverage cost-effective, commercial-off-the-shelf components," said Jim Ready, chief technical officer, MontaVista Software. "MontaVista Linux running on Emerson's AdvancedTCA blades gives NEPs a flexible, open and proven foundation for building and deploying reliable, feature-rich, carrier-class systems." "Embedded Linux is emerging as the dominant platform for building high-availability network infrastructure products, and we are committed to offering our telecom equipment OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers the finest carrier grade Linux A specification that defines an industrial strength operating system environment using Linux. Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) covers hardware, availability, clustering, security, serviceability and performance. solutions for our open architecture blades and modules," said Todd Wynia, vice president of product management for Emerson's new Embedded Computing business. "Now, NEPs can purchase MontaVista's Carrier Grade Linux directly from Emerson, certified by MontaVista, and installed in flash on our telecom blades and modules." MontaVista Carrier Grade Edition is a field hardened Linux distribution that is widely deployed in the networks of the world's leading carriers. MontaVista Linux CGE complies with both the Service Availability Forum
"MontaVista Carrier Grade Linux running on processors from Freescale Semiconductor built on Power Architecture(TM) technology is designed to deliver a combination of high availability and exceptional performance while holding the line on power consumption," said Lynelle McKay, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Digital Systems Division. "Emerson's high-density, configurable AdvancedTCA blades make this technology readily accessible to network equipment providers, providing a flexible, high-density, high-performance foundation for building a broad range of network infrastructure equipment." The KatanaQp is a high-performance telecom blade for open architecture systems utilizing Advanced TCA chassis. The KatanaQp features a pair of Freescale MPC (1) (Mobile PC) A handheld or laptop computer. See handheld computer, laptop computer and Ultra-Mobile PC.

Key applications include WAN access, SS7/SIGTRAN signaling, media gateways, traffic processing, wireless base stations and softswitches. The PmPPC7448 is a ProcessorPMC module that makes it easy for telecom OEMs to add high-availability processing power to telecom systems equipped with PMC (1) See Portable Media Center. (2) (PCI Mezzanine Card) A PCI-based mezzanine card that is widely adapted to VMEbus, CompactPCI and PCI cards. expansion sites. Based on Freescale's MPC7448 processor, the PmPPC7448 makes an ideal control plane processor for optical and wireless infrastructure. It's also ideal for augmenting packet processing and routing performance in voice gateways and softswitches, and for enhancing protocol processing performance in SS7 and SIGTRAN (SIGnaling TRANsport) An IP telephony protocol from the IETF that is used to transfer SS7 signals over IP networks. The telco switch sends SS7 signals to a signaling gateway (SG) that converts them into SIGTRAN packets, which travel over IP to the next signaling gateway or signaling control points and gateways.
