POS - point of sale , ATM and Ethernet Metro Optical Solutions PMC-Sierra (Booth #1705-Hall D) will also exhibit its XENON xenon (zē`nŏn) [Gr.,=strange], gaseous chemical element; symbol Xe; at. no. 54; at. wt. 131.29; m.p. −111.9°C;; b.p. −107.1°C;; density 5.86 grams per liter at STP; valence usually 0. (TM) family of devices, one of the industry's broadest set of 10 Gigabit Physical Layer and Framer/10G MAC solutions. The XENON family is based on the POS-PHY Level 4 (http://www.pmc-sierra.com/posphylevel4) interface, pioneered by the SATURN(R) Development Group, standardized by both the Optical Internetworking Forum The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) was organized to facilitate and accelerate the development of next-generation optical internetworking products. The OIF produces Electrical, Tunable Laser, Very Short Reach Hardware Interfaces. (SPI-4 Phase 2) and the ATM Forum A membership organization founded in 1991 to promote ATM networking technology. It worked with ANSI and the ITU to set standards. Its first specification in 1992 defined the User-Network Interface (UNI). In 2004, the Forum merged with the MPLS and Frame Relay Alliance. (FBATM 4). Currently, XENON supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet 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. and WAN, OC-192c POS/ATM, high-density Gigabit Ethernet and Quad OC-48c POS/ATM. PMC-Sierra is leading with extensive interoperability testing with other industry 10 Gigabit interfaces and POS-PHY Level 4 system components (http://www.pmc-sierra.com/10ge/). PMC-Sierra and Foundry Networks Demonstrate 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interoperability PMC-Sierra and Foundry Networks, Inc (Booth # 1705, Hall D) will demonstrate 10 Gigabit Ethernet (LAN PHY See physical layer and physical. ) interoperability between Foundry's BigIron(R) Layer 3 Switch 10GBASE-LR card and PMC-Sierra's XENON 10 Gigabit Ethernet PM5390 S/UNI(R)-9953 reference design system. The seamless connectivity between PMC-Sierra's XENON family of 10 Gigabit Ethernet components (S/UNI-9953 and S/UNI-1x10GE) and Foundry's BigIron Layer 3 switches will simplify migration to next generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet systems, including multi-service routers and switches for metro optical networks. For this demonstration, data traffic will be generated from a Gigabit Ethernet tester, aggregated by the BigIron switch into a single 10 GE link and sent to the PM3392 S/UNI-1x10GE reference design. PMC-Sierra will also demonstrate interoperability for high density Gigabit Ethernet by connecting the PM3388 S/UNI-10xGE reference design to Foundry's 8 port Gigabit Ethernet module. PMC-Sierra and Agilent Demonstrate POS-PHY Level 4 Development Tools PMC-Sierra and Agilent (Booth # 1705, Hall D) will demonstrate development tools for the industry standard POS-PHY Level 4 (Optical Internetworking Forum SPI-4.2) 10 Gigabit system interface using the S/UNI-9953 reference design system and Agilent's 16760A logic analyzer. The logic analyzer provides protocol and LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. analysis tools to speed characterization and integration testing of systems using the POS-PHY Level 4 interface. PMC-Sierra Exhibits OC-192 Add-Drop Multiplexer and Multi Service Provisioning Platform Applications PMC-Sierra (Booth #1705, Hall D) will showcase optical transport solutions that enable traffic grooming at termination down to sub-wavelength granularities. This is essential for today's service providers who need to use existing bandwidth to organize and distribute optical traffic from both access and long-haul networks. The demonstration will feature a 320 Gbit STS-1/AU-3 Add-Drop Multiplexer and Multi Service Provisioning Platform for OC-192/STM-64 and OC-48/STM-16 applications. The system is built with PMC-Sierra's CHESS-II(TM) chip set, including the flag ship product PM5317 SPECTRA-9953(TM) OC-192/STM-64 and 4 port OC-48/STM-16 framer and pointer processor, and the TSE-160, the industry's first 160 Gbit cross-connect chip. PMC-Sierra and Agilent Demonstrate XENPAK/10GE Evaluation System PMC-Sierra and Agilent (Booth #2001, Hall D) will showcase interoperability of PMC-Sierra's industry proven 3.125 Gbit/s XAUI XAUI 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface XAUI Extended Auxiliary Unit Interface XAUI XSBI Attachment Unit Interface (IEEE 802.3ae) XAUI Ten Gbps Attachment Unit Interface SERDES See serializer/deserializer. , PM8355 QuadPHY-II(TM), with Agilent's 1310nm 10Gbase-LR XENPAK optical transceiver, HFCT-701XB. The demonstration features PMC-Sierra's PM2373-KIT QuadPHY-II XENPAK/10GE evaluation system, a comprehensive PC-based evaluation and development platform for Metro and Enterprise networking equipment, and Agilent Technologies' HFCT-701XB serial 10Gbase-LR XENPAK optical transceiver.
