Mindspeed to showcase multi-core solutions for triple-play packet processing and mobile infrastructure platforms

2011 International CES, NEWPORT BEACH, USA: Mindspeed Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, announced it is featuring the Comcerto multi-core System-on-Chip (SoC) packet processors at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in broadband home router demonstrations with Wind River, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, and Teldat.

The company also will be showcasing its Transcede family of software compatible baseband processors that speed the development of a full range of 3G/4G/long-term evolution (LTE) base stations; from femto to macrocell architectures.

Mindspeed will be hosting private meetings and demonstrations for service providers, customers, press and analysts throughout the 2011 International CES, January 6-9, 2011, in Meeting Place (MP) #25822, which is located in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We are pleased to be collaborating with Wind River and Teldat to show the versatility of our Comcerto multi-core SoC packet processors,” said Marco Bello, executive director of customer premises equipment (CPE) marketing and product management at Mindspeed.

"Mindspeed’s multi-core expertise will be on full display at CES, from our Comcerto processors in exciting new broadband home router applications, to our Transcede family, which is helping to usher in a new generation of 4G and LTE base stations that are much easier to design across a broader range of small- to large-cell infrastructure platform variations.”

Mindspeed’s demonstration with Wind River will show how a turnkey, high-performance broadband home router and intelligent service-enabling platform can be created using Mindspeed’s hardware and software integrated with Wind River Linux.

The solution is ideal for high-performance gateway implementations, and the inclusion of bundled OSGi run-time software enables the design to support a wide variety of home automation applications and sophisticated remote-management capabilities, including software and firmware lifecycle management, provisioning, remote configuration and remote monitoring that help to significantly reduce the operating costs of broadband value-added service delivery.

Mindspeed’s demonstration with Teldat will feature an eHealth application on Teldat’s iRouter, a commercially available, high-performance fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) home router platform that is powered by Mindspeed’s Comcerto 100 processor and has been optimized for OSGi-based value-added services.

Mindspeed’s Comcerto 100 solution enables Teldat to combine a router and application server on a single platform for triple-play fiber-access networks, with gigabit wire-speed performance plus remotely-managed services capability. The Teldat iRouter will be demonstrated running an advanced home healthcare and diagnostic monitoring service application.

“Mindspeed’s outstanding processor performance and technical support have been key for Teldat’s selection as the main FTTH gateway provider for important global carriers,” said Ignatius Loizaga, vice president, business development at Teldat.

Additionally, Mindspeed will be displaying products from other industry-leading customers who are using Comcerto processors in systems ranging from IP private branch exchange (PBX) small-business equipment to voice-over-IP (VoIP) and triple-play FTTH residential gateways that deliver a variety of services for today’s broadband digital home.

Comcerto processors enable service providers to deploy triple-play and additional advanced value-added services over their fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) networks using the next generation of broadband home gateways. They offer a unique combination of high packet performance, reduced power consumption and low cost. Maximum and average power consumption are minimized compared to alternative solutions by using a combination of very large-scale integration (VLSI) design techniques, low power core technology from ARM Ltd. and power management application programming interfaces (APIs).

The same low-power core technology from ARM Ltd has been used in Mindspeed’s Transcede family. The flagship Transcede 4000 features an unprecedented 26 programmable processors in a single device, including two ARM Cortex A9 multi-core symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processors, 10 CEVA digital signal processors (DSPs) and 10 DSP accelerators.

Transcede processors enable equipment manufacturers to fully support the complete processing needs of single- and multi-sector base stations using the wideband code-division multiple access (W-CDMA), LTE frequency-division duplex (FDD), LTE time-division duplex (TD-LTE, in China), time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA, in China) and/or WiMAX air-interface standards.

Transcede-based designs feature substantial processing headroom for value-added software features that developers can also readily port to other Transcede-based platforms, from picocells and femtocells to the largest macrocell implementations.
