Vitesse, Dune Team Up

CAMARILLO, Calif. -- Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (Pink Sheets: VTSS - News) and Dune Networks, a leading supplier of networking and switching silicon devices for intelligent, scalable, and reliable switching, today announced the successful co-simulation and interoperability of Vitesse’s next-generation XAUI and VAUI interfaces with Dune’s XAUI, SPAUI and RXAUI interfaces. When using the complementary and now interoperable product offerings from Vitesse and Dune, telecom OEMs can confidently shorten their design schedules and increase the possibility for first-time success when building high-performance Ethernet switches and routers for the Enterprise, data center and Carrier Ethernet markets from merchant silicon.

Extensive device interconnect interface interoperability was validated as part of the joint solution. Validated interfaces included XAUI, VAUI/SPAUI, RXAUI, SGMII, QSGMII, and more specifically:

“Verifying interface interoperability of Vitesse’s MACs and PHYs with Dune’s PETRA™ devices provides customers with a ‘first time – done right’ experience when bringing up the combined solution,” said Tony Conoscenti, vice president of product marketing for Vitesse. “These advanced interfaces bring value added QoS, faster speeds and higher interconnect density to our customers’ next-generation systems.”
