Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AMCC), a leading vendor of embedded PowerPC(R) and network processors, today announced optimized and pre-validated support of TeamF1's secure networking solutions on AMCC's PowerPC family of highly integrated embedded microprocessors. This strategic alliance combines TeamF1's expertise in embedded security and advanced networking software  This article is written like a personal reflection or and may require .Please [ improve this article] by rewriting this article in an . with AMCC's global leadership in embedded PowerPC processing, enabling customers to speed time-to-market and reduce costs. The two companies plan to jointly develop and market highly integrated, advanced networking and security OEM/ODM platforms for Wi-Fi(R) and VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. applications with an optimized hardware architecture and software components designed to leverage specialized hardware resources. As a first step in a broader collaboration, the companies announced the availability of TeamF1's secure access point product "ASAP (chat) asap - As soon as possible. " and additional secure management capabilities integrated with AMCC's existing evaluation kit. A comprehensive, secure and managed access point solution, this initial integrated platform consists of TeamF1's ASAP and secure management middleware, AMCC's PowerPC 440GR-based Yellowstone evaluation kit and a standard off-the-shelf PCI-based Wi-Fi chipset. The pre-validated solution is targeted towards the growing market for full-featured secure access points and wireless gateways. TeamF1's ASAP software sets a new standard by providing the ability to concurrently support many different generations of 802.11 security technology found in today's wireless networks -- from WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. through WPA WPA: see Work Projects Administration. WPA in full Works Progress Administration later (1939–43) Work Projects Administration U.S. work program for the unemployed. , up to WPA2/ 802.11i, in either Personal (Pre-shared Key In cryptography, a pre-shared key or PSK is a shared secret which was previously shared between the two parties using some secure channel before it needs to be used. Such systems almost always use symmetric key cryptographic algorithms. ) or Enterprise (802.1X) modes. AMCC's PowerPC 440GR processor with integrated network connectivity and a 32-bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). v2.2 interface provides the necessary performance and interface features for a complete ODM/OEM-ready access point solution when combined with any standard PCI-based Wi-Fi(R) chipset. TeamF1 is also in the process of validating and optimizing other market-leading security and networking software components in its portfolio for use with AMCC's existing and upcoming embedded PowerPC processors, making it easier for joint customers to bring secure connected embedded systems to market faster while benefiting from the use of leading edge protocols and technology. "By teaming up with AMCC to provide the best overall solution to OEMs and ODMs of wired and wireless devices, we seek to accelerate their production schedules," said Mukesh Lulla, president of TeamF1. "We are confident that our ongoing strategic engineering and marketing efforts with AMCC will provide our mutual customers with the high-quality solutions that they have come to expect of both companies, while reducing integration risk, development costs and time-to-market." "We're pleased that our partnership with TeamF1 has resulted in an optimized solution for wireless access points based on our PowerPC 440GR processor," said Charlie Ashton, director of PowerPC software at AMCC. "We look forward to future roadmap integrations with TeamF1, which will offer customers rapid development and the best-of-breed in both hardware and software solutions."
