PMC-Sierra Demonstrates Micro Multi-Service Provisioning Platform Capabilities with New Evaluation System; ADM 622 based micro MSPP Platform supports both PDH and Ethernet Services in a Compact Form Factor.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS PMCS PMC Sierra (stock symbol) PMCS Project Management Control System PMCS partial mission-capable, supply (US DoD) PMCS Preventive Maintenance Checks & Services PMCS Professional Military Comptroller School ) today announced the availability of the PM2337 ADM See add/drop multiplexer. (language) ADM - A picture query language, extension of Sequel2. ["An Image-Oriented Database System", Y. Takao et al, in Database Techniques for Pictorial Applications, A. Blaser ed, pp. 527-538]. 622 Evaluation Platform -- a highly integrated system that allows ODMs and OEMs to rapidly prototype a compact micro Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (micro MSPP (MultiService Provisioning Platform) A high-end Cisco router that supports TDM circuits, packets and optical connections at the edge of the network. See MSSP and MSTP. ) using PMC-Sierra's ADM 622 device. PMC-Sierra's ADM 622 Evaluation Platform: --Collapses a multi shelf system to a single card in a "pizza box" form factor --Supports both legacy PDH PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy and Ethernet services at OC-12/STM-4 capacity --Supports enhanced Ethernet multiplexing with 802.3ah Ethernet OAM (Operations Administration Maintenance) Refers to managing and maintaining a network or network device. The P in "OAM&P" adds "provisioning" to the list, which is a telephone company term for setting up a service. --Features a user-friendly interface, Web-based configuration tool and a comprehensive user manual to simplify software development to accelerate time-to-market With the recent industry trend by the major Tier 1 telecom OEMs to outsource designs, a number of design service companies have leveraged the ADM 622 system to engage in the bidding process and showcase a compact access Multi-Service Provisioning Platform. The time-to-market advantage provided by PMC-Sierra's evaluation platform has in turn enabled 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 vendors to quickly respond to RFIs in both SONET and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy markets by demonstrating a working prototype. The ADM 622 evaluation system is powered by PMC-Sierra's 64-bit MIPS-Powered(TM) processor running LINUX OS. Requiring only a remote computer connected to the system, the easy to use Web-based configuration tool and comprehensive user guide and configuration manual has empowered PMC-Sierra's worldwide partners to expedite their software development (see figures 1&2). The Web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. allows the user to select various modes of operation available in the ADM 622 device and output the complete list of device register accesses, which can then be easily integrated into the customers' software environment. "Our aim in developing the ADM 622 evaluation system, together with a complete schematic design backed by a strong portfolio of support documentation, has been to create a user-friendly design reuse ecosystem for our customers," said Babak Samimi, product marketing manager, Communication Products Division at PMC-Sierra. "With a complete schematic design and strong portfolio of support documentation, customers can realize noticeable savings in R&D costs while securing a faster path to revenue with their own product designs." A Complete Micro MSPP Evaluation System PMC-Sierra's ADM 622 Evaluation Platform is a complete, stand-alone system solution that includes an evaluation board, cables, board schematics, Web-based configuration interface, configuration guide and a user manual. The platform features dual per port programmable OC-3/12 SONET or STM-1/4 SDH optical interfaces and can add/drop three independent EC-1/DS3/E3, 28xT1/21xE1 (interfaced to PMC-Sierra's PM4329 HDLIU 32 device), 8x10/100 and/or an independent 1xGE port. The evaluation platform contains the following PMC-Sierra devices: --PM5337 ADM 622 -- a single chip fully integrated OC-12/STM-4 MSPP --PM4329 HDLIU(TM) 32 -- High density T1/E1/J1 LIU LIU Linköpings Universitet (Sweden) LIU Long Island University (New York) LIU Line Interface Unit LIU Lightguide Interconnection Unit (AT&T) LIU Laugh It Up --PM8354 QUADPHY(R) 1G -- GE SERDES See serializer/deserializer. device --RM7065 Microprocessor and Controller -- MIPS-Powered microprocessor Advanced Features for Access MSPPs The ADM 622 Evaluation Platform is based on the PM5337 ADM 622 device -- a single-chip MSPP cost-optimized for OC-3/STM-1 and OC-12/STM-4 applications. The device's advanced data features and high integration are ideal for compact networking equipment deployed in remote terminals or customer premises equipment See CPE. where service density does not justify deployment of larger, more expensive MSPPs. The ADM 622 device integrates SONET/SDH framers and pointer processors, PDH mappers, expansion interfaces, and a cross-connect. It also supports an EoS interface with integrated Ethernet multiplexing functions eliminating the need for external switching elements, further reducing the cost of deploying access equipment. These key features enable network equipment OEMs to provide the important features carriers are looking for in delivering reliable transport of client services through the carriers' existing infrastructure by providing a rich mix of client interfaces for legacy PDH and next-generation Ethernet services. Availability and Customer Support The PM2337 ADM 622 Evaluation Platform is housed in a 1UI "pizza box" form factor and is available upon request. A comprehensive support package, including design documentation as well as application notes, is available.
