The high-performance MCPN905 blade provides an excellent platform for compute-intensive applications such as call processing engines, gateway controllers and administration complexes interfacing to the central office. All these applications are looking to handle greater workloads in the search for more effective solutions—the MCPN905 is being used to deploy such solutions.

For example, call-processing engines for softswitches continue to demand additional performance. Since call agent boards directly determine the number of busy-hour call attempts (BHCAs) that a switch can process, a high performance processor is key. The MCPN905's high performance and low thermal profile make it especially well suited to such applications.

At the core of the MCPN905 is a 1 GHz MPC7457 PowerPC® processor with AltiVec™ technology, 1MB of L3 cache and up to 1.5GB of DDR memory with ECC protection. Dual PMC sites allow for additional I/O as well as processor PMC offload engines to boost call processing capabilities even further. PMC sites offer the additional advantage of PCI-X performance at speeds up to 133 MHz. The MCPN905 is also well-suited for Ethernet connectivity applications requiring three Ethernet interfaces at Gigabit speeds and PICMG® 2.16 support.

• 1.0 GHz MPC7457 PowerPC processor with AltiVec technology for peak performance
• Up to 1.5GB DDR ECC memory for peak computation power
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet PICMG 2.16 interface connectivity
• Additional Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for increased connectivity
• Two PMC sites for maximum I/O expansion
• Front panel or backplane I/O for popular chassis support
