Jeff Lawrence said: "The combination of Trillium's Integrated SS7 protocol stack and Force's SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill CPU-5V board offers our customers a reliable, high-performance integration of hardware and software. Trillium has already licensed this particular solution to a customer who is developing equipment for the rapidly expanding broadband infrastructure in Korea." The Integrated SS7 Platform evolved from existing Trillium products. Trillium plans to announce support for additional Force platforms in the future. "We are pleased with the integration of Trillium's SS7 protocol software stack with Force's highly successful SPARC CPU-5V board and look forward to working with Trillium in the future," said Chris Williams, vice president of marketing for Force Computers. "Applications within the Advanced Intelligent Network requiring high performance and reliable signaling, especially Intelligent Peripherals, will benefit from this powerful solution." Trillium's Integrated SS7 - Force/VME Platform product has a sophisticated multiboard architecture with higher layer protocols, such as MTP (1) (Message Transfer Part) See SS7. (2) (Media Transfer Protocol) A Microsoft enhancement to the picture transfer protocol (PTP), starting with Windows Media Player 10 in Windows XP. Level 3 and ISUP (ISDN User Part) See SS7. , running directly on the Force CPU-5V board within a VME card system cage. The hardware for this platform is sold separately by Force Computers. The Force SPARC CPU-5V is based on the VME bus standard, which is the leading open bus architecture for embedded systems. The SPARC CPU-5V is powered by a microSPARC-II processor and is 100 percent compatible with the Solaris Operating System.
