FlexCore ATCA-FM40

The FlexCore™ ATCA-FM40 is a 10GbE switch that addresses the needs of 3G LTE next generation wireless and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks by using advanced 10GbE switching silicon. The FM40 delivers Layer 3+ features to implement advanced load balancing while providing higher port counts that deliver 10GbE to each slot and up to eight 10GbE external uplinks. Connectivity for advanced applications such as IPTV or high end Security Gateways require an upgrade of the entire system from 1GbE to 10GbE – including switches as well as payload blades.

The FM40 eliminates oversubscription and traffic congestion typical in carrier-grade wireless and IMS networks by balancing the uplink ports with the backplane fabric and offers the added benefit of low latency Layer 2 switching which supports advanced traffic management capabilities.

The FM40 provides full 10GbE line-rate switching for 16 slots and 8 external links with a 240Gbps non-blocking fabric switch. The backplane interface supports PICMG 3.1 (option 9) 10GbE links for applications demanding maximum performance, but is also backward compatible with 1GbE links (option 1) for legacy products. A separate 533MHz 440EPx PowerPC processor is dedicated to running Layer 2 switching software.

The FM40 includes models with Layer 3 routing and advanced quality of service, complete with turnkey software.
