Interphase Corp. introduces the iSPAN(R) 3650 AdvancedMC(TM) (AMC) Quad OC-3c/STM-1 ATM-IP Interworking Card. The iSPAN 3650 delivers unprecedented performance for bridging cell-based and circuit-based networks and provides outstanding design value. When combined with the Interworking application from Interphase, the iSPAN 3650 becomes an integrated gateway on an AMC, especially designed to support OC-3c/STM-1 interfaces in ATCA and MicroTCA (uTCA)-based systems. This configuration provides an excellent value proposition for equipment manufacturers seeking to expand capability of existing products and for network service providers seeking to reduce costs by foregoing expensive external ATM gateways. Other available protocol stacks include UDP/IP over GE and GTP-U tunneling. The software, fully embedded on the card, includes the protocol layers, the management and configuration plane, the line/equipment protection, and the data interworking application. The GTP-U tunneling capability makes this gateway AMC an ideal solution for wireless network elements that connect to the 3GPP Iu interface, such as 3G RNCs, SGSNs, Femtocell/HNB gateways, and LTE Serving gateways.

Interphase Corp. announced its partnership with SafeNet to provide a pre-integrated, carrier-grade IPsec network security hardware and software solution for accelerated development of superior IP-based applications. The QuickSec(TM) 5.0 toolkit from SafeNet has been integrated with the Interphase iSPAN(TM) 36CA OCTEON(TM) Plus AdvancedMC Packet Processor and iSPAN 55CA Quad GE to PCI-x Packet Processor, both Cavium Networks OCTEON-based multicore packet processor cards. This integration easily saturates a 4GB IPsec network link with millions of tunnels implemented to address the need for the security performance in both AdvancedTCA(R) architecture and rack mount server network elements.
