SBE Teams with Xalyo Systems to Offer ATM and Packet over SONET to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers.SAN RAMON, Calif. -- Boards Capable of Serving as Gateway from ATM & T1/E1 Systems to IP-Based Networks SBE SBE - Microsoft Office Small Business Edition Inc., (Nasdaq:SBEI), and Xalyo Systems today announced their agreement enabling SBE to provide its OEM customers with OC-3 interfaces supporting ATM and Internet Protocol (IP) services bundled in cost-effective board-level packages. "This technology alliance with Xalyo Systems completes our existing family of wide area networking (WAN) adapters. Adding this series of ATM adapters, supporting data rates from T1/E1 to OC-12, opens new markets and applications for existing customers," commented Steve Nester, vice president of business development at SBE. "In addition, these cards will allow us to satisfy the growing demand to provide a bridge between fixed, time-based circuits (ATM and T1/E1) and packet-based (IP) networks. Offering this gateway/bridge functionality on a PTMC is simply unmatched in the industry today," concluded Nester. SBE and Xalyo will have available today a series of modules, consisting of the following boards: --XS-1000: Single port OC-3/STM-1 ATM and Packet over SONET A metropolitan area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN) transport technology that carries IP packets directly over SONET transmission without any data link facility such as ATM in between. (POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale ) with Gigabit Ethernet on a PTMC module --XS-155: Quad port OC-3 / STM-1 ATM and POS interface supporting an aggregate throughput up to OC-12 rates --XS-TDM: Quad port T1/E1/J1 PTMC supporting Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA (Interactive Multimedia Association, Annapolis, MD) An earlier trade association founded in 1988 originally as the Interactive Video Industry Association. It provided an open process for adopting existing technologies and was involved in subjects such as networked services, scripting ) Ideal for serving business critical applications such as wireless networking, voice over packet, TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. over Ethernet, media signaling gateways, Internet access, and video streaming, these high-end ATM/POS solutions utilize Wintegra's WinPath Network Processor to manage the data path, and an on-board 64-bit MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. processor to run advanced protocols, i.e. 3GPP, SS7, ATM, VoIP. Designed to offer port-to-port termination, switching, and interworking capabilities, each of these modules is based on a common architecture that addresses the bottleneck in current systems by handling all of the processing on-board and performing segmentation and reassembly segmentation and reassembly - segmentation locally. This feature not only offloads the CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. on the carrier board, but also optimizes bus transfers while conducting termination. "The architecture of these OC-3 and IP interfaces allows us to deliver a level of flexibility and performance that is virtually impossible to achieve on conventional designs," stated Andre Wiesel, founder and president of Xalyo Systems. "Our design incites increased throughput and more reliable data rates, which ultimately means better quality of service for customers." An open application programming interface (API) is provided on the PCI bus, thus enabling customers to plug and play these solutions on virtually any platform, processor, and operating system. Linux and VxWorks driver support also available. Availability and Pricing The XS-1000, XS-155, and XS-TDM boards are available now. AMC versions of these modules are currently in development and will be released in the near future. Pricing varies based on OEM quantities.
