PCI Mezzanine Card module for telecomms

SBE claims its new wanPTMC-C4T1E1 product is the industry's first PCI Telecom Mezzanine Card (PTMC) module. The newly adopted PICMG 2.15 PTMC standard extends the popular PCI mezzanine Card (PMC) module form factor to include telephony-specific interfaces. As the first member of SBE's wanPTMC product family of PTMC enabled interface modules, the wanPTMC-C4T1E1 complements the previously announced HighWire HW400c/M PTMC enabled CompactPCI core processing platform.

"The wanPTMC-C4T1E1 eliminates the need for VoIP and Softswitch integrators to use proprietary T1/E1 interface modules", said William B Heye Jr, president and CEO of SBE.

"Now our customers can quickly integrate modules into advanced telephony solutions."

The wanPTMC-C4T1E1 incorporates PTMC technology for standardised local CT Bus access, four full-featured T1/E1/J1 interface ports and a high-density PCI based synchronous communications controller, yielding a standards-compliant interface module with unprecedented flexibility.
