TPACK TPWX3192 combines packet mapping and switching

TPACK's new TPWX3192 combines the TPW192-S 10 Gbps NG-SONET/SDH Packet Mapper with the TPW3100 20 Gbps Carrier Packet Engine in a single Altera Stratix III FPGA-based solution

Press Release, Copenhagen, September 25: TPACK today announced the availability of a groundbreaking new solution, the TPWX3192 Carrier Packet Mapper Engine, at Carrier Ethernet World Congress. Combining the functionality of a 10 Gbps Ethernet over NG-SONET/SDH packet mapper and a carrier grade packet processor with traffic management, the TPWX3192 is ideal for cost-optimized MSPP and microMSPP as well as packet optical applications.

The TPWX3192 is the first TPACK product to take advantage of the high logic density and low power consumption of Altera’s new line of Stratix® III FPGAs. Based on 65nm manufacturing processes, the Stratix III FPGAs enable the TPWX3192 to accommodate the feature sets of both the TPACK TPX3100 20Gbps Carrier Packet Engine and the TPACK TPW192-S 10 Gbps NG-SONET/SDH Packet Mapper. This allows the full range of MEF defined Carrier Ethernet Services to be supported in a compact, single device solution.

“By combining two products in one, the TPWX3192 provides a lower cost solution, occupying less space and consuming 50 percent less power without sacrificing features or flexibility”, said Peter Viereck, CEO TPACK. “With the 10x increase in bandwidth required by triple-play and IPTV services, the TPWX3192 allows affordable 10 Gbps NG-SONET/SDH aggregation solutions to be deployed that can extend the capacity of existing networks.”

“TPACK is taking advantage of the best-in-class performance and low power consumption of the Stratix III FPGA in the TPWX3192 to deliver a highly-integrated, complex Ethernet solution,” said David Greenfield, senior director of product marketing for high-end FPGAs at Altera Corporation.
