Wintegra Adds iTDM to Wide List of Available Protocols.Enables Board and System Vendors a "Soft Upgrade" For Internal 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. Support AUSTIN, Texas -- Wintegra[R] Inc., a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. targeting the access infrastructure market, announced today the availability of iTDM (Internal TDM) support on it WinPath family of processors. The iTDM protocol provides an efficient way to transfer TDM traffic across Ethernet back-planes. iTDM was created to carry many TDM voice and data calls over a packet based system making it well suited to facilitate the ongoing convergence of data and voice based networks. iTDM supported on various AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) See AdvancedTCA. (Advanced Mezzanine Card Advanced Mezzanine Cards are printed circuit boards (PCBs) that follow a specification of the PCI Industrial Computers Manufacturers Group (PICMG), with more than 100 companies participating. Known as AdvancedMC™, the official specification designation is AMC. ) boards in an AdvancedTCA[TM] system leads to straightforward designs of Media Gateways, Media Servers, PBX's, and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. switches. For Wintegra's WinPath users, adding this new iTDM support is straightforward, involving only a simple software upgrade from their current protocols such as ML/MC-PPP, PPP-Mux, Frame Relay, ML-FR, 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 and PWE PWE Pseudo-Wire Emulation PWE Pevek (Russia) PWE Plane-Wave Expansion PWE Public Works Engineering PWE Parabolic Wave Equation PWE Plasma Wave Experiment PWE Previous Work Experience PWE Prolog Word Expert 3. So their current AMC cards can now support a wide array of protocols utilizing these production verified packages from Wintegra. All of these software packages are royalty and NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) Refers to the cost of creating a new product, which is paid up front. Contrast with "production cost," which is ongoing and based on the quantity of material produced. free from Wintegra. "The addition of iTDM to Wintegra's growing list of supported protocols provides an efficient and effective method to support legacy telephony standards in an infrastructure migrating to IP," said Liviu Pinchas, Director of Technical Product Marketing at Wintegra. "Wintegra is one of few access processor manufacturers facilitating the migration of today's PSTN features into the rapidly evolving networks of tomorrow." Wintegra's iTDM offering supports two basic configurations, a low density software only option for up to 2000 DS0s and a hardware assisted high density variant for up to 8000 DS0s. Some iTDM highlights for the low density software only option follow: * I-TDM over Ethernet packet format * I-TDM grooming, moving of TDM channel position within the packet or between packet flows * I-TDM 125usec payload format (single DS0 and multi DS0 time slot formats). Wintegra's iTDM solution is available now. For more information see www.wintegra.com. About Wintegra, Inc.
