ZTE Corporation, a global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, reportedly has selected Wintegra’s WinPath processors and software for their ZTR10 T8000 Cluster Core Router.

 

ZTE’s (News - Alert) newly announced Cluster Core Router is targeted at the high-end router market and has unmatched switching capacity.

 

“Wintegra (News - Alert) has the right mix of flexible multi-protocol support, high performance, plus scalability for our new T8000 solution,” said Gong Chaomei, ZTE’s T8000 chief engineer, in a statement.

 

Chaomei said that their WinPath silicon and software solution is a great fit for the T8000. Wintegra officials said that the company offers factory and customer hardened silicon and software solutions for Carrier Ethernet and various forms of IP protocol handling. 

 

Company officials claimed that WinPath devices have the requisite I/O connectivity plus high performance data handling support for these next generation telecom switches and routers.

 

Moreover, WinPath-based designs are RAM (News - Alert)-based, allowing for seamless upgrades of operational software as protocols evolve and new standards are implemented.

 

“Wintegra’s solutions have evolved as network demands have increased,” said Robert O’Dell (News - Alert), Founder and EVP of Marketing and Sales at Wintegra.

 

O’Dell said that the company has added Carrier Ethernet support and enhanced its multi-protocol to IP interworking capabilities giving the company a compelling mix of high performance silicon and the software needed for these next generation systems like the T8000.

 

“We’re pleased to be part of this world-class, high-end ZTE cluster router,” he said. Wintegra is enabling the delivery of new services for the evolving communications network infrastructure.

 

A major player in low-power, high performance multi-processor-based solutions, Wintegra’s processor families are used in a wide range of networking and communication platforms such as Multi-Service Access cellular radio baseband, base stations, 3G, WiMAX and LTE (News - Alert) systems, wireless backhaul, and cell site aggregation solutions, and DSLAMs.

 

Earlier in January Wintegra had announced the newest member of their third generation processor family, the WinPath3-SuperLite.   

The WinPath3-SuperLite provides higher performance than the previous generation WinPath devices at an aggressive price for high volume applications. WinPath3-SuperLite complements the fully-featured, faster WinPath3 that was introduced last year.
