The Centellis 3406 platform is one in a series of AdvancedTCA-based communications servers from Motorola. These platforms provide highly integrated and verified hardware and software components, reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market. This allows network equipment providers (NEPS) to focus their development resources on critical, differentiating features that provide a competitive advantage.
The Motorola Centellis 3000 series of AdvancedTCA® based communications servers are specifically designed to address the unique carrier-grade requirements of the telecommunications industry. Application examples include wireless infrastructure, packetized voice, wireline data, and cable network head-end equipment.
The Centellis 3406, R3.1 platform core is RoHS (6 of 6) compliant, eliminating the need for customers to incur the time, resource and expense associated with creating and/or converting existing product to meet this international requirement.
The heart of the Centellis 3406 platform is the AXP1406 AdvancedTCA (ATCA®) shelf and the ATCA-F102 system controller and switch blade. The AXP1406 shelf includes redundant shelf manager and alarm modules, redundant power entry modules (PEMs) and four fan tray modules. The ATCA-F102 system controller and switching blade combines PICMG compliant base and fabric interface switching functionality with a full processor complex for high availability (HA) middleware or user applications. Assuming a redundant switch and HA middleware environment, combining these key functions provides customers with two additional slots for billable applications.
A variety of payload blades are offered for the Centellis 3406 platform including modular computing with the addition of AMC technology. New for the Centellis 3406, R3.1 platform release is an AMC carrier blade and an Intel® Pentium® M processor AMC. The AMC carrier blade supports a virtually unlimited combination of processor and/or I/O AMCs from our technology partners. Basic Blade Services (BBS) software is provided with each blade to create an integrated platform including a standard Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) distribution and Service Availability Forum (SA Forum) compliant Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) to user applications.
