Technology

Understand the technology used in TPACK SOFTSYSTEMs as well as the network applications addressed by each TPACK SMARTPACK Solution.

SOFTSYSTEM Technology

The TPACK SOFTSYSTEM Concept is based on providing a pre-integrated, pre-tested reference solution to Telecom Equipment Vendors, which they can use as a starting point for accelerating their introduciton of new Packet Transport and Carrier Ethernet system functionality. See more on the TPACK SOFTSYSTEM Concept.

A key component in a SOFTSYSTEM is SOFTSILICON, a standard chip solution, which is based on a programmable chip (FPGA) allowing full flexibility in adaptation and customization of functions and interfaces. See more on the TPACK SOFTSILICON Concept.

The concept is based on use of the following technologies:

• Field Programmable Gate Arrays
• High-Level Driver Software with API interfaces
• Application Software
• Management Software

See more under SOFTSYSTEM Technology.
