TranSwitch Corporation Introduces Industry's First RISC Processor-Based, DS3 Channelized Access Solution; ECLIPSE device targets DS3/DS1/DS0 access applications.Business Editors SHELTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2000 TranSwitch Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in 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) ) today announced the introduction of the industry's first processor-based, comprehensive channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. DS3/DS1/DS0 access solution, simplifying the design of Multi-service Access Systems, Digital Cross-connect Systems, and Remote Access Concentrators. The ECLIPSE is a RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. processor-based VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip.

The ECLIPSE, the latest device in TranSwitch's family of broadband multi-service VLSI solutions, provides a very high-level of integration and functionality. The device integrates an M13 multiplexer including a DS3 framer with full C-bit functionality to support clear-channel DS3; a 28-channel DS1 framer, a 28-channel DS1 cross-connect, a 672-channel DS0 cross-connect for grooming, concentration, switching and multiplexing; and a MVIP (MultiVendor Integration Protocol) A voice bus and switching protocol developed by Natural Microsystems, Natick, MA, and others. Used to build call center equipment using regular PCs, MVIP provides a second communications bus within the computer that can and H.100/H.110 interface. In addition, an embedded high-performance on-chip RISC processor, provides flexible and programmable control to the device. The ECLIPSE offers an optimal cost/performance point and unmatched space and power efficiency - a critical advantage in designing systems to accommodate the exploding network growth. The powerful RISC processor in the ECLIPSE significantly reduces software integration and management issues by running TranSwitch programmed device drivers. The software interface to the ECLIPSE is a high-level structured Application Program Interface (API), which significantly reduces the application development time and load on the customer's host thereby accelerating time to market and increased functionality for system OEMs. The RISC processor also handles important network management elements such as device initialization in·i·tial·ize tr.v. in·i·tial·ized, in·i·tial·iz·ing, in·i·tial·iz·es Computer Science 1.

"We are very excited about the introduction of the ECLIPSE product, the first, in a planned series of bandwidth management service processor solutions from TranSwitch. The high-level of integration in conjunction with the firmware running on the RISC and the API bring a complete DS3/DS1/DS0 access solution that system OEMs can simply invoke, rather than create," said Nick Taluja, Senior Product Marketing Manager at TranSwitch Corporation. The ECLIPSE is priced at $148 per unit in one thousand unit quantities with samples available in Q1, 2001.
