Cortina Announces CS7542/CS7522, an Ultra High Performance Multi-Services for Secured Data, Voice, Video, and Mobile Services
Cortina Introduces the Industry’s Most Powerful, Scalable, Secured Services Platform for the Digital Home
CS7542/CS7522 delivers ultimate user experiences by enabling simultaneous quadruple play services and enterprise class security and performance
Cortina Systems, Inc. (Cortina™), delivering innovative technologies that link people and networks worldwide, today announced the CS7542/CS7522, an ultra high performance multi-services delivery platform, designed to address the paradigm shift occurring in the market place due to the emergence of IPTV technology and the convergence of DVB, router gateways, and DVR set top boxes. The CS7542/CS7522 creates a new model of a single delivery platform that delivers simultaneous line rate bandwidth for secured data, voice, video, and mobile services without service degradation. Its industry leading IPSec and enterprise class QoS/routing performance makes it an ideal solution for powerful digital home and SMB networking appliances.
“The digital home is in a rapid transition period where a new single service delivery model is needed to meet the growing demands and requirements for digital content and distribution,” said Dr. Stewart Wu, Vice President at Cortina Systems. “To ensure the system’s longevity and to support ever increasing bandwidth, Cortina’s CS7542/7522 combines hardware-accelerated, enterprise-class, networking performance and security features with a flexible and scalable architecture to enable future value-added services.”
“Operators around the world are quickly transitioning from basic modems to high-end IP-based residential gateways that currently deliver voice, data, video, and mobile, but can also serve as a platform for future services,” commented Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, Broadband Access, Infonetics. “Cortina has developed the first scalable platform that easily delivers multi-stream, HD video, both wired and wireless networking with high reliability, high security, and remote monitoring, as well as troubleshooting capabilities operators require.”
Key Technology Advantages:
- High Performance Processor: Powerful 4,000 DMIPS Dual ARM Cortex A9 with dual NEON DSP Extension core enables computationally intensive applications and the ability to add new services without a platform upgrade
- Gigabit Line Rate Network Engine: Enterprise network performance with service aware QoS addresses any needs from Service Provider
- Flexible Architecture: Robust set of networking/storage/video/audio interfaces to address different markets and applications
- Enterprise Security Performance: Gigabit line rate security and packet engine for network VPN or content DRM/CA
- Active Power Management: Low power gateway operating mode to meet any future green standard
With the integration of six transport stream inputs, the CS7542/CS7522 is an ideal platform for CATV, DVB, and IPTV video convergence, a critical objective for MSOs, Telcos, and GoogleTV. In addition to the digital home market, the CS7542/CS7522, as an enterprise-class, ultra performance SoC solution, is particularly well suited for SMB VPN routers, enterprise access points, and a variety of storage applications.
“As a residential carrier services delivery platform, the CS7542/7522 is extremely power efficient by offering a unique low energy gateway mode that draws minimum energy when idle but provides instant-on when new traffic arrives. The platform can also actively manage the overall system energy usage by shutting down inactive blocks individually and activating those as required for specific applications,” commented Dr. Wu.
Both the CS7542 and CS7522 are sampling now.
