P3041 Application Use Cases

1.1

Integrated Access Router (IAD)

Dual SATA ports provide high-speed, low-cost storage options for statistics or large databases. Compared

to SGMII, 2.5-Gb/s Ethernet enables the next step in performance connectivity to switches.

1.2

Base Station Network Interface Card (NIC)

Dual Serial RapidIO ports (up to 5 GHz) can be used for redundancy or multiple connections, both to the

backplane or to the DSP farm. With improved Type 11 messaging and new support for Type 9 data

streaming, the Serial RapidIO interconnect can now be used not only as a control plane interface, but can

also achieve its intended potential as a highly-efficient, data path.
