Ultramapper II SoC for high-quality, multi-service network applications

LSI Corporation announced Ultramapper II, an addition to its LSITM networking family of multi-service processors for radio network controllers, base station controllers and customer premise equipment (CPE) applications. The Ultramapper II system-on-chip (SoC) provides a multi-channel bridge from network cores to metro access networks and enhances quality of service (QoS).

Built for wireless and wireline transport applications, Ultramapper II packs the power and the intelligence to deliver concurrent, real-time QoS data to service providers across every channel in the network. Featuring higher port density and lower power consumption than the previous generation, its capabilities include fast network error detection, fault isolation and remote repair capabilities.

Compatible with other SoCs in the Ultramapper family and scalable across the bandwidth spectrum from DS0 (64 kb/s) to OC-3 (155.52 Mbs), Ultramapper II enables OEMs to leverage one design effort across their complete line of network platforms. Standard, carrier-grade features include 4 x OC-3 protection for Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) applications, 12 x DS3/E3/EC1 terminations, protection switching, full DS3 PMON on all twelve channels, STS3c/STM-1C capability and simplified clocking.

Availability:

1. Ultramapper II is expected to be available in sample quantities this quarter.
2. Production quantities are expected to be available in April.
3. LSI will showcase its wireless infrastructure solutions in stand AV53 at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 16 to 19.
