May 29, 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark: TPACK (www.TPACK.com) today announced the introduction of SMARTPACK P-OTN, a new family of SOFTSYSTEM customizable chip solutions. Designed specifically for Packet-Optical Transport Network (P-OTN) applications, SMARTPACK P-OTN integrates Packet, SONET/SDH and OTN switching and transport in a series of chip solutions designed to fit a variety of platform architectures.
The SMARTPACK P-OTN family provides a number of integration options to choose between, but also the ability to accommodate customer specific combinations. Connection Oriented Ethernet (PBB-TE, T-MPLS and PWE3/VPLS), SONET/SDH and OTN modules are supported allowing a flexible mix of packet switching, TDM and optical transport functionality.
“Packet Optical Transport is an emerging market with great potential”, said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst & Co-Founder at Infonetics Research. “However, it is also a market under definition, which requires flexibility and the ability to adapt quickly to changing requirements. TPACK’s SMARTPACK P-OTN family addresses this need and should prove interesting to many system providers”.
SMARTPACK P-OTN chip solutions are based on re-programmable FPGA technology, which allows customers to adapt and customize the solution to meet specific requirements. Future unforeseen requirements can also be accommodated quickly, which will be critical in P-OTN applications, which are still under definition in many cases.
