Teknor introduces next generation CompactPCI® solution for ultra high performance clustered multiprocessing

Teknor Applicom Inc., a Kontron company, today launched the cPCI-MXP64, a state-of-the-art CompactPCI® multiprocessing peripheral processor designed for mission critical applications in both the data communications and telecommunications markets. Hot swappable and exceptionally reliable, the cPCI-MXP64 offers several performance enhancement features designed for communications gateway solution providers who employ scalable multiprocessing for Windows® NT, VxWorks, pSOS and Linux-based applications.

"The bottom line is the cPCI-MXP64 can power a tremendous range of applications," said Philippe Muraglia, Product Marketing Director, CompactPCI at Teknor. "From mission critical, real time and near real time communications to Voice over IP applications, this peripheral processor is built to impress. CompactPCI has clearly become the strategic open communications solution for next generation service providers and Teknor is right at the heart of this with its own next generation solutions."

Superior performance and Teknor innovation

The cPCI-MXP64 is built with an ultra high performance Intel® Pentium® III processor - Low Power with a 100 MHz Front Side Bus and clock speeds of up to 500 MHz. Other performance features include the integration of a 64-bit CPCI bus, up to 768 MB of SDRAM, and a unique standalone circuitry which enables it to work independently from a system processor. The end result is a passive cooled, high-density board-level solution with superb performance and superior MTBF (Mean-Time-Between-Failure).

The cPCI-MXP64 supports Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) through FPGA logic, and features one multiple mode parallel port (SPP, EPP, ECP), two serial ports, and a 64-bit AGP CRT SVGA controller with 2 MB video memory.
