TES Announces Second Reference Platform For Gateway and Router Applications
First platform designed for the Freescale MPC8321E PowerQUICC II Pro processor leverages TES's Custom Design and Manufacture (CDM) approach
Langon, France -- March 1, 2007 - TES Electronic Solutions, the global electronics design and manufacturing services company, today announces the general availability of the second in the TES program of CDM reference platforms.
The platform, CDM/RP-PQGR, is the first reference design to be based on the Freescale MPC8321E PowerQUICC(TM) II Pro processor and is designed as a core unit targeting Gateway and Router applications, in high-growth areas such as VoIP or VDSL2 for the telephone marketplace. Other applications include VPN for professional applications, and file and print servers. The platform can also support wireless capable applications as an add-on board utilising TES predeveloped wireless software drivers.
TES's Reference Platform program is a key component of the company's Custom Design and Manufacturing concept and includes continuous development of platforms for a wide range of applications. With CDM, TES offers a comprehensive partnership to companies, enabling them to build applications and start system integration, whilst TES takes care of hardware optimization for the product target market.
Key advantages of the CDM/RP-PQGR platform include its three extension connectors, 1xPCI, 2xminiPCI, TDM and the DSP header, increasing accessibility and versatility for users, and a 4-layer PCB that makes it easier to customize for manufacturing.
TES provides for the platform a software support package and a comprehensive baseline software package, including u-boot, Linux and drivers. TES also provides a rich set of applications, as examples or templates to help its customers' product development. Among these are software modules, providing the capability to enhance the following:
- Web Based management, rlogin, SNMP Monitoring, for the appliance remote management.
- 802.11x Security, including support for Multiple SSIDs allowing the appliance to provide different wireless security level, depending on the application.
- Multilink PPPoE for multiple DSL link support
- Router/VPN: DHCP, NAT & IPTABLES Firewall
- Printer server: CUPS Print Services
- File system (NAS, WNAS)
"This board brings significant additional value to TES's existing telecommunication customers, and differentiates TES from design houses or manufacturing competition," said Nick Walker, Senior VP Sales and Marketing, TES. "By teaming with TES, Freescale can now bring a full design and manufacture industrial solution to its MPC83XX customers."
