TPACK provides embedded software solutions to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers that enable them to build systems faster and with lower risk, but also allowing new functionality to be added both during development and in the field.

Since 2001, TPACK has been providing some of the world's largest telecommunication equipment manufacturers with leading edge technology and solutions for efficient packet transport. Specifically, TPACK provides the chip solutions and the supporting software that implement the intelligence in telecom systems. TPACK's experience and expertise in both data and telecom networks has proven to be decisive in TPACK's success to date. See TPACK's Company Profile for more information.  

Carrier Ethernet, in particular, has become TPACK's speciality whether it is transported over Ethernet, MPLS, VPLS, PWE3, PBT/PBB-TE, T-MPLS, SONET/SDH, PDH or OTN. See TPACK's SMARTPACK Solutions and Products for more information.

What makes TPACK unique is its ability to provide fully re-programmable solutions, which offer flexibility to telecom equipment manufacturers who wish to introduce differentiating features during system development, but also to continuously update systems with the latest technology, standards and customer demands once they have been deployed. In the fast moving world of packet transport, this is essential. See SOFTSILICON and SOFTSYSTEM for more information.

The programmable chip solutions that TPACK provides are referred to as SOFTSILICON. SOFTSILICON is a standard chip with a pre-defined set of features, which can be re-programmed to accomodate adaptations and field upgrades. It is similar to standard chips, like Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs), but with the added advantage of being flexible to changing requirements. See TPACK SOFTSILICON concept for more information.

A SOFTSYSTEM solution is also based on a re-programmable chip platform, but allows the customer full freedom in customizing the solution to their needs. It can also include all of the control software necessary to configure, monitor and manage the system. This includes application software, management information databases and interfaces for interacting with external management systems. See TPACK SOFTSYSTEM concept for more information.

SMARTPACK is TPACK's family of SOFTSILICON products and SOFTSYSTEM Solutions focused on efficient Carrier Ethernet packet transport over telecommunication networks. SMARTPACK solutions include a number of SOFTSILICON products, which implement the functionality required at a chip level. These include Carrier Packet Engines for switching and traffic management and Packet Mappers for mapping of packet data to telecommunication transport protocols. See TPACK's SMARTPACK Solutions and Products for more information.

TPACK has delivered SMARTPACK Solutions to several top tier telecom equipment manufacturers. These solutions are deployed in the field supporting delivery of Carrier Ethernet services and other packet services. See TPACK Customers for more information.
