New Interphase Intelligent Communication Controller Provides Highest Density Available to Signaling Applications



PLANO, Texas -- Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ: INPH), a leading global provider of solutions for converged communications networks, announces the new high-density iSPAN® 3640 AdvancedMC(TM) High-Performance T1/E1/J1 Controller for use in AdvancedTCA® (ATCA) and MicroTCA(TM) (µTCA) platforms. Via its 8 T1/E1/J1 interfaces, the iSPAN 3640 supports SS7 MTP2, ATM AAL5, SSCOP and SSCF protocols, up to 248 SS7 Low Speed Links, 8 High Speed Links, or 248 media channels, and thus dramatically optimizes the system slot usage. Using its high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) interface or its Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connectivity to a host processor, the iSPAN 3640 enables rapid exchange of payload information, making it ideal for a broad spectrum of signaling applications such as signaling gateways, wireless network control elements, and media servers/gateways. With its high-impedance line interfaces and monitoring software, the iSPAN 3640 is also the perfect solution for SS7 monitoring services applications.

This is the latest addition to the Interphase portfolio of best-in-class intelligent communication controllers, which includes COTS designs in most standard form-factors to meet your immediate design needs. The iSPAN 3640 is designed to provide intelligent network interfaces for application platforms that need to connect to TDM/ATM networks. It features the powerful Freescale MPC8568 PowerQUICC III(TM) QUICC Engines(TM) processor. Hardware is available in mid-size and full-size AMC.0 R2.0, in front and rear- access configurations. The iSPAN 3640 comes with a reliable and field-proven iWARE® Software Development Suite (SDS), including on-board support for multiple network protocols.

In addition to our COTS solutions for connectivity, interworking, and packet processing, Interphase welcomes the opportunity to serve our customers with expert customization, integration, and contract manufacturing.
