| Single, high-performance IXP2805 processor executing MIPS-intensive 3G radio resource protocols |
Can enable dramatic system footprint and cost reductions for next-generation RNC solutions because a single IXP2805 replaces multiple DSPs and ASICs. Additional processing power is available for future 3G features |
| Embedded carrier-grade UMTS RNC data plane software supporting 3GPP R99, R4, and R5 specifications (including HSDPA and IMS) |
Can accelerate time-to-market for next-generation RNC solutions because the IXP2805 does not require any programming |
| Compliance with PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA Core Specification |
Allows system component choice because of the interoperability of PICMG* 3.0 industry-standard components from Intel and its ecosystem |
| Modular data plane implementation with flexible interworking between data plane transport and radio network layer boards |
Supports multiple next-generation RNC configurations from a few boards in a single AdvancedTCA chassis to many boards across multiple interconnected chassis |
| Variety of high-availability features including board- and link-level redundancy, Safe System Upgrade (SSU), etc. |
RNC investment can be focused on greater differentiation at the control and management interface |
| Cleanly partitioned data plane with functional APIs derived from industry-standard Network Processor Forum (NPF) functional application programming interface coding guidelines and naming practices |
Rapid integration of IXB2805 3G boards into a total next-generation RNC solution |
| Industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v1.5 software |
Quick implementation of critical monitoring, control, and diagnostic functions for fault detection and repair |
Intel NetStructure® IXB2805 3G boards are integrated, high-performance, high-density data plane solutions for R99, R4, and R5 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Radio Network Controllers (RNCs). The boards feature Intel® IXP2805 network processors with RNC data plane software in an AdvancedTCA* form factor. IXB2805 3G products are designed to enable the rapid delivery of highly differentiated, superior price/performance RNC solutions at lower development risk and cost. Please note the IXB2805 3G boards supersede the IXB2800 3G boards.
