Cali.-based provider of signaling infrastructure, Adax (News - Alert) has reportedly unveiled the AdaxPacketRunner, or “APR,” at Supercomm 2009. According to another TMCnet report, Georgia-based IntelliNet Technologies (News - Alert) is going to integrate APR into its ACTA architecture.

 

APR is an intelligent ATCA Carrier Blade that has been tailored to meet the I/O requirements of the next generation telecom networks. Equipped with an on-board Cavium 56xx multi-core processor, APR is suitable for NGN, IMS and LTE (News - Alert) telecom applications with IP-transport, Carrier Ethernet, or “CE,” QoS, security, bandwidth management, packet processing, I-TDM and signaling requirements.

 

The Cavium 56xx multi-core processor, memory and cache provide support for IP-transport, packet processing and signaling on one blade without requiring a general CPU or ProcessorAMC.

 

“As the only vendor in the market able to offer this level of flexibility, we believe that our PacketRunner product will benefit customers looking to move everything to IP either now or in the future,” Drew Sproul, director of product marketing at Adax, said. “Customers will be able to protect their investment, as the flexibility of the PacketRunner and the AMC card family will ensure that they have a solution that can manage their current SS7 requirements while offering the ability to move to fully IP-based solutions when the time comes.”

 

ATCA AMC carrier blade has been purpose built for users that are looking for high-density I/O or planning to interwork SS7/ATM and IP. The four AMC sites offered by the APR help fulfill a range of I/O requirements. The APR has been designed to overcome ATCA I/O challenges such as flexibility and scalability of the blades, cost prohibition and redundancy and to optimize ATCA performance. 

 

The ready-to-run protocols provided by Adax ensure shorter time to market and allow customers to concentrate their efforts on developing their applications and integrating Adax hardware and software components to create the perfect configuration. Adax also provides flexibility, allowing customers to use third party AMC cards and software with the APR.
