NAMC-8569-xE1/T1 and NAMC-8569-xE3/T3

Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) with 8- or 16-E1/T1 or 4-E3/T3 interfaces

The NAMC-8569-xE1/T1 is an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) with a powerful Freescale Power QUICC III MPC8569 processor providing access to multiple E1/T1 in next generation systems based on MTCA and ATCA standards. The TDM-to I-TDM converter connects the on-board E1/T1 interfaces with a Gigabit Ethernet port for system interconnect (I-TDM).

The NAMC-8569-xE1/T1 is dedicated for (tele-)communication applications with extensive need for a high aggregation of multiple E1/T1 interfaces combined with access to switched networks based on high bandwidth Ethernet. The NAMC-8569-8E1/T1 base board offers 8-E1/T1 interfaces at the front panel and two 1GbE interfaces at the common options region of the AMC connector ports 0/1.

The optional mezzanine provides additional 8-E1/T1 interfaces and expands the board to 16-E1/T1, the NAMC-8569-16E1/T1. The NAMC-8569-xE1/T1 is optimized to process standard telecom signaling protocols as well as special payload handling algorithms in next generation's systems based on the MTCA or ATCA standards. Extensive software support makes the NAMC-8569-xE1/T1 an ideal choice for any voice/data application in ISDN, SS7, ATM, VoIP or 3G environments.

The NAMC-8569-4E3/T3 offers 4-E3/T3 line interfaces. T3 handles a bandwidth of 44.736 Mbit/s or 672 channels and E3 supports data transmissions of 34.368 Mbit/s or 512, a higher data speed compared with E1 (2.048 Mbit/s - 32 channels) or T1 (1.544 Mbit/s - 24 channels).

Extender Mezzanines
Currently, there are two different types of extender mezzanines available. For applications requiring more TDM interfaces, N.A.T. offers the NAMC-8569-16E1/T1 with an extender mezzanine supplying 8 additional E1/T1 lines at the front panel. The NAMC-8569-E3/T3 provides four E3/T3 lines accessible via four RJ45 interfaces at the front panel.
