• Designed for SS7 signaling applications on 1U rack-mount PCI-Express servers
• Reliable and field-proven Software Development Suite (iWARE SDS)
• On-board support for multiple network protocols
• Linux x86, Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC support
• Pre-integrated protocol layers with various third party SS7 stacks
• High-impedance mode interfaces for monitoring applications
• Support for the termination of up to 124 media streams for processing on the host
• Freescale™ MPC8560 (PowerQUICC III™) processor

Designed for Signaling Applications
The iSPAN 5639L Low-Profile PCI Express T1/E1/J1 Communications Controller, together with the iWARE Software Development Suite, delivers a comprehensive high-capacity connectivity solution for use in PCI-Express enabled rack-mount servers to deliver a wide range of Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), Wireless and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) infrastructure signaling nodes.

High Performance and Density
With 4 T1/E1/J1 interfaces per card, and several cards per server, the iSPAN 5639L provides a high density solution for SS7 applications, and enables optimization of slot usage within servers. With a high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) interface to the host, the iSPAN 5639L enables rapid exchange of payload information and is hence ideal for a broad spectrum of server-based signaling applications.

Powerful Solution Architecture
The iSPAN 5639L incorporates the Freescale PowerQUICC IIITM communications controller to provide high-performance and high-capacity processing of signaling traffic. With its FPGA supporting the TDM switching, and an enhanced raw data transfer mode to/from the host, the iSPAN 5639L can also be used for media termination and switching in host-based media processing applications.
With its high-impedance interfaces and monitoring mode of operation, the iSPAN 5639L is also the ideal platform for SS7 monitoring services applications.
