Ethernity Networks Releases the First ENET4000 Solution Dedicated for PON OLT Line Cards

    LOD, Israel, February 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethernity Networks Ltd, a
 leading supplier of Access Flow Processors, Today announced the PON OLT
 line card on a chip program, an effort designed to help system and
 semiconductor vendors to come up with a single chip solution for the entire
 PON OLT line card solution.
 
     The ENET architecture enables the support of a full PON OLT line card
 solution on a single FPGA, due to its inherent support for fragment frames
 reassembly, GEM header generation, logical queue support per virtual
 container at ONU side and can support HW acceleration for DBA, as it fully
 described at http://www.ethernitynet.com/PONOLTsolution.htm
 
     The first release of the ENET4000 FPGA Access Flow Processor is
 designed to fully support OLT EPON or GPON applications, and comes with
 User side interface selection of 8 x 1Gbps SGMIIs for EPON, or 4x 2.5G
 SGMII for GPON together with XAUI 10G for backplane / up link connectivity.
 The ENET4000/PON Access Flow Processor supports all the required Networking
 and Traffic Management functionalities at 15Gbps, and includes integrated
 SERDESs for direct connectivity to Fiber Transceivers.
 
     The new program enables semiconductor vendors or system vendors that
 own PON OLT framer technology to use now the newly released ENET4000
 solution connected to External PON Framer, and later through the use of
 Ethernity's customization services integrate the unique customer PON framer
 technology into the ENET 4000 original architecture.
 
 

      The ENET4000 main highlights include:
 
     - Integrated Search Engine
     - Integrated Hierarchical programmable traffic manager.
     - Flexible interfaces
     - Utilizes external memory chips based on low cost and power DRAM
       technology.
     - Metro Ethernet and TR-101 compliance.
     - Integrated SAR and fragment frame handling.
     - PBB/PBT support
     - Maintain flexibility, programmability and field upgradeability
     - Option for Hard Copy / ASIC
 
     Pricing and availability:
 
     The ENET4000 will start field trials at customer product during
 April/08 and is now available for immediate design for new customers.
 Design kit includes full software solution, schematics, data sheet and ATCA
 evaluation board (http://www.ethernitynet.com/ENET4000RD.htm) equipped with
 8 SGMII ports , or 4 x 2.5G SGMII, together with two 1+1 10G XAUI
 interfaces. The evaluation board can be ordered and is available for
 customer evaluation and tests. Pricing is available upon request
