Complete TDM-IP Interworking Solution on a Card

The iSPAN® 3651 AdvancedMC addresses a range of applications requiring interworking solutions that bridge TDM and IP networks, and it takes advantage of open standards to offer a smooth interworking solution in a significantly less expensive format.

Single Card Solution Significantly Reduces Operating Costs

As an AdvancedMC solution, the iSPAN 3651 can be easily integrated into standard systems so the switching/routing function that typically consumes an entire system can be accessible on a single card. The 3651 enables OEMs to add tremendous value to their products with its integrated TDM-IP interworking function on a single AMC, reducing capital and operating expenses associated with reduced space, cooling and power supply costs. As an AMC, the iSPAN 3651 is compatible with ATCA-standard carrier cards, including the Interphase 31K and the Emerson ATCA-7301.


High Performance TDM-IP Interworking Platform

For bridging circuit-based and packet-based networks, the iSPAN 3651 hardware delivers unprecedented performance in IP traffic interworking between ATM AAL2/AAL5 or PPP and Ethernet with full line rate speeds. Available with a robust ATM/Ethernet protocol suite for traffic management, QoS, aggregation, encapsulation, bridging, routing, and interworking, the iSPAN 3651 is a versatile platform for custom interworking application development.

User-friendly, Comprehensive Application Software Enables fast time to market

With the Interphase Interworking application, the iSPAN 3651 becomes an integrated gateway, specifically designed to support channelized OC-3/STM-1 interfaces in ATCA and MicroTCA (µTCA)-based systems.

For AAL2, AAL5 or PPP data, the interworking functionality enables the transport over IP of voice, data and control traffic to/from other processing units in the system via the Gigabit Ethernet backplane.

With its high T1/E1 capacity, the iSPAN 3651 gateway AMC is an ideal solution for Radio Access Network (UTRAN) Elements that connect to the 3GPP Iub interface, such as RNCs, NodeBs, and Access gateways and concentrators.

The software, fully embedded on the card, includes the protocol layers, the management and configuration plane, the line/equipment protection, and the data interworking application. Configuration and control of the application is performed over IP via SNMP, CLI or the Interphase MCCI API.
