The ATC6640 is the first and only base/fabric 1 Gb/10 Gb Ethernet switch that fully utilizes all the advanced capabilities of the PICMG® 3.0/3.1 specifications. With a design based on years of experience gathered from servicing the carrier market, it is the ideal interconnect for the network-centric packet and protocol processing that is typically seen in modern telephony systems. As one of the newest examples of Performance Technologies’ award-winning line of switches, it offers greatly increased platform bandwidth, network performance, and reliability in high-availability applications, such as VoIP, media and signaling gateways, IP media equipment, Remote Access Servers (RAS), telecom switching/routing infrastructure, and SS7 network elements.

The ATC6640 features two independent switches, each with its own dedicated management processor and memory, which ensues that users can isolate control and production traffic for optimum system performance and security. Each switch features support for IPv4/IPv6 switching/ routing at wire-speed, as well as 10 Gb uplinks. To ensure system reliability, the ATC6640 can be configured to monitor network status. It also continuously checks its own health through realtime integrity tests. In the event of system or network failure, data can be automatically re-routed to an alternate path.

The ATC6640 comes equipped with an onboard IPMC Slave interface. The base and fabric switches also support a large number of front panel interface/uplink options. The ATC6640 has dual, midsized, single-width AdvancedMC™ (AMC) sites, each with a single 1 Gb connection from the base and up to two 10 Gb connections from the fabric. These positions can be populated with a number of options, including dual 10 Gb optical or copper uplink modules. Both positions support AMC 2 types 5, 6, and E1. The primary AMC site also supports CLKA and CLKB.

The ATC6640 protects investments for the long term with easy FTP/TFTP updates to platform flash memory. System software is available through downloads from Performance Technologies, which greatly simplifies or eliminates the need for dedicated onsite network administration.
