PTI's PMC370PQ Intelligent T1/E1
WAN Telecommunications Module for
PMC compatible baseboards provides
OEMs and integrators with two fully
channelized T1/E1 interfaces for tele-
com and datacom applications.
This module is ideal for SS7, Frame
Relay or any channelized connection
to SS7 network elements, signaling
and media gateway devices, wireless
nodes, or remote access servers and
multiplexers.
The PMC370PQ has been designed
as a fully programmable communica-
tions sub-system with an onboard
RISC communications processor.
Integrated CSU/DSUs further simplify
system development and eliminate the
need for costly external devices.
The PMC370PQ plays a significant
role in making Performance
Technologies a full-line supplier
of innovative telecommunications
and networking products that enable
the convergence of wireline, wireless
and next generation Internet Protocol
networks.
Telecom Hardware Features
The architecture of the PMC370PQ
capitalizes on the leading edge capa-
bilities of the MPC860MH, Motorola's
PowerQUICC
-based datacomm
processor. This device, specifically
designed as a specialized communi-
cations controller, offers very high
performance and full channelization
of the T1/E1 spans.
The processing power and 16MB
DRAM array allows the PMC370PQ
to execute Layer 2 communications
activities directly onboard, handling
most of the low-level communications
activities that burden host work-
stations and servers. By relegating
most or all T1/E1 communication-
related processing to the PMC370PQ,
the host system can operate much
more efficiently, freeing it to process
other tasks. The result is the highest
possible system performance.
Extensive Software Support
With a well defined API, the integrated
protocol suite from Performance
Technologies reduces time to market by
eliminating unnecessary development
time at the hardware/protocol level.
The protocols for our standard WAN
hardware products enable development
engineers to proceed directly to integra-
tion and application development efforts.
