SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS) today announced the PM8310 TEMUX® 336, the industry’s most integrated and scalable framer solution for next generation voice, wireless and router platforms. The TEMUX 336 uniquely meets the demanding density and feature requirements of both proprietary and AdvancedTCA® /Advanced Mezzanine based equipment, enabling carriers to cost-effectively upgrade their existing equipment to meet continued subscriber growth. Feature integration and scalability make TEMUX 336 the ideal solution for high density SONET/SDH, T1/E1 and DS3/E3 line cards used in Voice and Media Gateways, Wireless Infrastructure and Routers (see Figures 1-3).
The TEMUX 336 is a single-chip solution integrating OC-12/STM-4 or 4xOC-3/STM-1 SONET/SDH framers for working and protect links, 336/252 T1/E1 framers, 12 DS3/E3 framers, 12 M13/G.747 multiplexers and 12 VT/TU mappers. The device features:
Best in class clock control and jitter performance required by 3G wireless, TDM over Packet (PWE3) and Circuit Emulation applications;
Integrated Extended Serial SONET/SDH Interface (ESSI) serial links utilizing PMC-Sierra’s field-proven high-speed serial backplane technology;
A market leading equipment protection interface that uniquely fits the constraints of ATCA®/AdvancedMC™ based systems;
A small form factor and low power to meet board-level requirements;
Seamless interconnect with PMC-Sierra Layer 2 solutions via the Scalable Bandwidth Interconnect (SBI) interface;
and
Firmware compatible with previous-generation TEMUX devices.
The TEMUX 336 is the newest addition to PMC-Sierra’s broad portfolio of solutions for managing existing TDM-based networks while enabling the transition to a converged IP infrastructure. The device is compatible with PMC-Sierra’s widely deployed family of industry-leading TEMUX solutions and allows customers to fully leverage their existing software into higher density applications.
“Through our close partnership with carriers and OEMs, PMC-Sierra has addressed several key market requirements with the TEMUX 336,” said Dino Bekis, vice president of marketing and applications for PMC-Sierra’s Communication Products Division. “We are providing the ideal solution to enable our customers to meet the increasing and evolving demands of carrier networks, while leverage their existing investments.
