[October 28, 2009] RadiSys Teams with Aricent and 6Wind for ATCA Platform Solution Tweet Oct 28, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- RadiSys, a provider of advanced embedded solutions, announced that it has partnered with Aricent and 6Wind to deliver application-ready platforms for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Through collaboration with Aricent and 6Wind, RadiSys noted, it can deliver its ATCA Promentum platform, a LTE signaling stack and efficient data path software in one, fully integrated solution that lowers development risk for Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) and reduces time-to-market. "As the industry's first 10G platform, RadiSys has now delivered more than 35 different applications for our customers," said Anthony Ambrose, Vice President and General Manager, Communications Networks, RadiSys. "In order to provide TEMs looking to enter the LTE market with an even greater time-to-market advantage, we've partnered with Aricent and 6Wind to deliver the industry's first LTE-ready platform that can reduce deployment time by 50 percent." RadiSys stated that its partnership with Aricent and 6Wind brings together the benefits of scalability, high availability along with the performance of a broad portfolio of ATCA building blocks. This pre-packaged platform solution combines RadiSys' ATCA hardware with 6Wind's Datapath software (6WindGate) and Aricent's LTE stack framework. Aricent's LTE EPC software frameworks are complete, pre-integrated control plane software modules suitable for LTE Macro/Micro EPC nodes, supporting essential Serving Gateway, Packet Gateway and Mobility Management Entity capabilities. The addition of the 6Wind Datapath creates a complete stack for packet processing. 6Wind's flagship software is suited for LTE high performance equipment. It provides a complete L2-L4 packet processing engine based on Fast Path, a data plane specifically optimized to benefit from multicore performance. "Aricent was recently recognized as a 2009 4GWE LTE Visionary Award recipient, a testament to our rich and comprehensive LTE solutions for all segments of the LTE network, from devices to the Evolved Packet Core, including eUTRAN," said Rakesh Vij, assistant vice president at Aricent. "Our specialized LTE frameworks for Radisys' LTE-ready platform can help telecom equipment manufacturers create differentiated LTE offerings that can be deployed today, or implemented as part of an evolution to a next-generation network." "6WindGate's Fast Path-based architecture delivers one of the best possible packet processing performances in the industry, delivering close to 30 Mpps forwarding performance on a RadiSys packet processing board based on a dual CN5860 OCTEON processor architecture," said Eric Carmes, CEO of 6Wind. "We are pushing the 20G limit on a single ATCA board. Our datapath efficiency which comes optimized within the platform is why 6WindGate has been selected by major tier one telecommunications equipment manufacturers. Simply, our off-the-shelf ready optimizations allow them to instead focus their precious time and resources on getting to market quickly."
