The CPC308 is a network-optimized access controller that is ideally suited for both PSTN and IP telephony applications. The ability to add scalable DSP/CPU processing via the PCI Telecom Mezzanine Card (PTMC) sites combined with onboard TDM/IP switches makes the CPC308 an ideal platform for developers of telephony systems.

Featuring eight fully programmable T1/E1/J1 interfaces, the CPC308 offers a comprehensive design that is ideal for supporting voice, data, signaling, and monitoring applications, all via one architecture.

The CPC308 is optimized to handle voice circuits for protocol processing or for transfers between the H.110 bus, PCI bus, Ethernet, or onboard PTMC sites. The two PTMC sites provide the ability to connect two single or one dual PTMC module. The PTMC interfaces support 32-bit PCI, H.110 style TDM, RMII, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet. Application examples include: wireless infrastructure equipment, media and signaling gateways, IP media equipment, telecom switching and routing equipment, and SS7 network elements. The CPC308 offers true TDM/IP bridge capability in addition to supporting full H.110 and PICMG® 2.16 backplanes, framers for external connections, and full gigabit IP interconnect between major components.

Hardware Features

The CPC308 utilizes a 800 MHz PowerPC® processor with L1/L2 cache and built-in TCP Acceleration Hardware (TAH). By using the onboard TDM edge processor, the CPC308 can support up to 256 HDLC channels. The CPC308 fully complies with the latest PICMG hot-swap specification, and its fully passive RTMs also improve reliability. By incorporating the H.110 interface device, the CPC308 can send/receive any of its possible time slots to the J4 connector.

NexusWare® Software Support

The NexusWare® software suite offers a CGL registered and POSIX-compliant Linux® operating system and development environment. In addition, the suite includes an extensive list of installable protocols that can be leveraged to build robust solutions, such as media gateways, lawful intercept platforms, SS7 monitoring equipment for line usage/billing applications, radar gateways, and converged serial gateways.

The NexusWare family of products includes:

• NexusWare Core: At the very center of the NexusWare suite of software is NexusWare Core, which provides a comprehensive, highly integrated, Linux based development, integration, and management environment. It is intended for system engineers who use Performance Technologies' embedded products to build packet-based systems, including next-generation wireless and IP-based systems.
  
  
• NexusWare C7: Comprehensive SS7 MTP-2 installable software package for NexusWare Core. NexusWare C7 provides a foundation for building SS7 applications, including next-generation wireless and IP telephony systems, to equipment manufacturers and application developers who use Performance Technologies' embedded products.
  
  
• NexusWare WAN: Extensive offering of protocol packages including, but not limited to, HDLC, X.25, Frame Relay, and Radar Receiver. When combined with Performance Technologies’ embedded products, these will enhance the ability of developers to create flexible and efficient radar gateways, converged serial gateways, and front-end I/O systems.
  
  The WAN software products are offered as installable software packages for NexusWare Core or as turnkey packages for those developers interested in the protocol package by itself. Whether the installable or the turnkey solution is chosen, developers will be provided with a well-documented and powerful API to assist in the development process.
