Motorola Unveils Centellis 4000

Motorola Inc. has unveiled the Centellis 4000 series, an AdvancedTCA-based communications server that handles the high bandwidth and packet processing requirements in 4G wireless, WiMAX and IPTV networks.

The server has 10gbps internal Ethernet switching fabric and payload blades, and helps network equipment providers get service providers migrated to a common platform.

This first release of Centellis 4000 series of ATCA communications servers features a combined system controller and switching blade providing 1gbps and 10gbps Ethernet links to each payload slot, and optical and copper fabric extension ports, Motorola said. The system will support existing Centellis 3000 payload blades to ease migration and will introduce an AdvancedMC carrier blade and a high performance 10gbps packet processing blade.

The Centellis 4000 platform and associated 10G Blades are designed for Communications Platforms Trade Alliance compliance, Motorola said.

The company said the first products of Centellis 4000 will be available by the middle of the year.
