The CentellisTM 3600 is one of a series of AdvancedTCA-based Application-Enabling Platforms. Application-Enabling Platforms represent a quantum leap forward in platform outsourcing by providing highly integrated and verified hardware and software components, reducing development costs and accelerating time-to-market. This allows telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) to focus their development efforts on critical, differentiating features that provide a competitive advantage.
All Centellis™ 3000 series AdvancedTCA® platforms 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 heart of the Centellis 3600 platform is the AXP1600 shelf which includes redundant shelf manager and alarm modules, redundant power entry modules (PEMs), a network synchronization clock distribution module as well as an N+1 cooling architecture.
Also included are redundant system controller and switching blades, default node blades and Basic Blade Services (BBS) software to create an integrated and verified platform – ready for customer applications. For applications benefi ting from preinstalled Service Availability™ Forum (SA Forum) Application Interface Specifi cation (AIS) compliant HA middleware, refer to Motorola’s Avantellis™ series of communications servers.
