PCI Controller

Interphase has announced what it claims is the world's most advanced controller for telecommunications systems based on the CompactPCI bus architecture.

The 6535 Octal T1/E1 communications controller is the flagship product supporting the company's initiative into fast-growing telecommunication markets including wireless communications, fast internet access and advanced intelligent networking.

The growth in wireless networks and the popularity of the internet has spawned a new industry of specialised off the shelf equipment designed to provide enhanced services for the next-generation telecommunications infrastructure.

US service providers alone will spend more than $13 billion in 2000 to expand their global networks.

The controller offers superior performance with an advanced architecture that features the Motorola MPC8260 RISC CPU.

With this processing capability and carrier-class features optimised for telecommunication applications, the 6535 is perfect for wireless telephony, high-speed internet access and advanced intelligent network equipment.
