Teja introduces ATM RAN application for 3G

November 14, 2005

Teja Technologies, the supplier of embedded networking and communications software for multi-core processor architectures, announced that it has added an ATM Radio Access Network (RAN) application to Teja NP, the company's award-winning software platform for the Intel IXP2XXX network processor (NPU) product line.

Supporting AAL2 and AAL5 voice and data traffic, the new application provides the ATM functionality required in 3G wireless base station controllers, Radio Network Controllers (RNC), Node Bs, Media Gateways, and Serving GPRS Support Nodes (SGSN), as well as other networking equipment that combines ATM and Ethernet technologies, such as DSLAMs. With the addition of ATM to the Teja NP Software Platform, OEMs have a high performance production-ready building block that allows them to easily integrate ATM functionality into their Intel NPU-based products in a faster, more cost-effective manner than any other alternative.

"ATM continues to play a major role in the telecom backbone as the industry rolls out new 3G wireless and IP-based broadband services," stated David Stepner, Teja Technologies' president and CEO. "The Teja NP Software Platform, now with added ATM functionality, provides TEMs and OEMs with an advanced starting point from which to quickly develop their next generation infrastructure equipment."

Teja's unique approach to embedded networking applications greatly simplifies development of software for the parallel, multiprocessing architecture of Intel network processors. Teja NP consists of an Application Development Environment, Network Processing Operating System (NPOS), and a library of foundation application building blocks including TCP Termination, IPv4 Forwarding, IPv6 Forwarding, NAT, DiffServ QoS, ATM and Security.

Using Teja NP, developers define a complete system's application logic in a C-based model that is independent of the specific Intel network processor and board configuration. These modular logic components are then assigned to the hardware elements on a specific target, resulting in the automatic generation of optimized production code for the target system. Reusing applications across multiple products or across generations of network processors simply requires reassigning the application logic to the resources of the new target chip or board, whereas alternate methods would typically require a manual code rewrite.

As with Teja's other applications, the Teja NP ATM RAN application is highly portable and scalable across Intel IXP23XX, IXP2400, and IXP28x0 NPUs, and will be available pre-configured for use with popular COTS boards from hardware vendors including ADI Engineering, ADLINK, Intel, Motorola and RadiSys. The resulting benefits of using Teja NP include accelerated time-to-market, the reduction of engineering risk and, most importantly, reliable, high-performance products that provide OEMs with a first-to-market advantage.

The Teja NP ATM RAN application will be available in December 2005. A demonstration/evaluation copy of Teja NP is currently shipping with Intel's distribution of the Intel IXA SDK 4.x. Teja is an Associate member of the Intel Communications Alliance (ICA).
