TranSwitch's PacketTrunk-4 Plus Serves as Building Block for TDM Circuit Emulation over IP, MPLS, and Switched Ethernet; Industry's First Product to Support all IETF PWE3 Specifications for PDH Including TDMoIP(R), SAToP and CESoPSN.SHELTON, Conn. -- TranSwitch(R) Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQin full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : TXCC TXCC Transwitch Corporation (stock symbol) ), a leading provider of carrier-class semiconductor solutions for voice, data and video communications, today announced the PacketTrunk(TM)-4 Plus, a single-chip solution for implementing standards-compliant circuit emulation service (CES) interfaces and systems. CES, which is complementary to VoIP, offers a graceful, robust, and affordable migration path for transporting T1, E1, T3 and E3 circuits over packet-switched networks (PSN). PacketTrunk-4 Plus, which extends the capabilities of the PacketTrunk family, will be demonstrated at GLOBALCOMM 2006 in Chicago where visitors to TranSwitch's exhibit (Booth #59062) can see it perform circuit emulation of T1/E1 traffic. "The transport of T/E carrier signals and accurate timing over packet-switched networks is becoming increasingly important to manufacturers of access equipment," said Daryl Inniss, vice president, Communications Semiconductors for Ovum-RHK. "With the advent of mature IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force PWE3 and other specifications for circuit emulation, service providers and enterprises now have a path to reliable, interoperable 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. interworking (standard) interworking - Systems or components, possibly from different origins, working together to perform some task. Interworking depends crucially on standards to define the interfaces between the components. across heterogeneous networks." "TranSwitch sees enormous potential in developing solutions for the evolutionary convergence of communications networks," said Brian Stroehlein, product marketing manager for TranSwitch. "PacketTrunk-4 Plus is a key addition to our portfolio of convergence products for access and edge networks in that it enables transparent transport of legacy TDM traffic over IP/MPLS/Ethernet networks with 'synchronization interface' quality clock recovery." PacketTrunk-4 Plus allows the implementation of multi-port CES gateway functionality with enhanced cost/performance for a variety of carrier and enterprise applications across the network. This single-chip solution incorporates G.823/G.824 "synchronization interface" (less than 15 ppb, 1 sec) quality clock recovery, encapsulation (IPv4, IPv6, MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS.

The device serves as a building block for CES over IP, MPLS and switched Ethernet networks. Typical applications include: --Cellular backhaul and/or network synchronization --TDM services over metro Ethernet, CATV, or broadband wireless networks --IP-DSLAM synchronization --Enterprise private line/toll bypass over an IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching MAN --HDLC-based data trunking (e.g. Frame Relay) over IP/MPLS --SS7 transport over IP/MPLS The PacketTrunk-4 Plus is compliant with all relevant industry specifications and standards. These include Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the (IETF) Pseudo-Wire Edge-to-Edge Emulation (PWE3), Internet drafts for TDMoIP, SAToP (Structure Agnostic TDM over Packet), and CESoPSN (Circuit Emulation Services over Packet Switch Networks), and derivative standards and specifications from the Metro Ethernet Forum The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) was founded in 2002. It is a non-profit international industry consortium, dedicated to worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet networks and services. (MEF), ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union , and the MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance (MFA). PacketTrunk-4 Plus is available now with an RTOS-independent hardware-abstraction layer (HAL), evaluation kit, TDMoIP calculator spreadsheet, BSDL and IBIS models, and extensive documentation. PacketTrunk-4 Plus is backward compatible to the first generation PacketTrunk-4 so existing customers will have an easy migration to the new device. The device is packaged in a 256-pin 27 x 27 mm Plastic Ball Grid Array “BGA” redirects here. For other uses, see BGA (disambiguation). A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. (PBGA). Power supply voltages are 1.5v core and 3.3v I/O.
