采用OCTEON™ Plus处理器的强大的PCI Express解决方案，突出的散热特性
•         与主机通讯采用四通道PCI Express 
•         500MHz OCTEON™ Plus 6 核 CN5434-NSP 处理器
•         ~25 瓦电源消耗
•         可选铜缆或光纤以太网
 
GE Fanuc智能设备近日发布了WANic™ 5434 包处理器板，再次表明GE Fanuc在通讯应用领域尖端技术研发方面的领导地位。这是本公司第一款带PCI Express的包处理器板，四通道的PCI Express总线为与主机通讯提供了高速连接，WANic 5434 功能强大然而却有非常好的散热特性。  该产品采用的是高性能的 500MHz Cavium OCTEON™ Plus 6 核 MIPS64™ CN5434-NSP处理器，设计满足NEBS对质量和可靠性的要求。 
 
对安全IP通讯和多千兆包处理的应用需求在不断增长，我们WANic5434的推出增强了我们在这方面的能力。这是我们第一款 PCI Express 的包处理器板，加强了我们在包处理方面的市场领导地位，扩展了我们的产品线，使得我们可以提供更多的产品给用户。
 
WANic 5434的核心是 500MHz OCTEON Plus 6 核 CN5434-NSP 处理器，该处理器可以在layers 2-7进行包检测以提供在高线速（最高达4Gbits/s）下的安全的高速连通性和复杂的安全处理。为了适应更多相关应用的需求，我们还会继续推出 5400 系列处理器的板卡。为保证系统对高线速的要求，集中计算的任务被从主CPU中剥离出来。该产品功耗很底，只有大概25瓦，支持1 GByte DDR2 包内存（使用 VLP mini-RDIMM 模块实现）。通过前面板提供四个 1000BaseT （RJ-45 连接）或 1000BaseSX （光纤SFP 收发器）的千兆以太网端口。   
 
该产品支持 Debian Linux，我们可以根据客户要求提供对其它操作系统的支持。此外，我们还提供完整的开发工具包（包括U-Boot加载，POST，Linux Support Package (LSP)），简化了客户的开发过程，缩短了客户产品推向市场的时间。
 

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms Announces WANic™ 5434 Packet Processor
Powerful PCI Express solution features OCTEON™ Plus processor, excellent thermal characteristics 
 
•         Four lane PCI Express communication with host 
•         500MHz OCTEON™ Plus 6-core CN5434-NSP processor
•         ~25 watts power dissipation
•         Choice of copper or fiber Ethernet
 
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA   June 5, 2008   Expanding still further the company’s range of leading edge solutions for telecommunications applications, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms today announced the WANic™ 5434 packet processor.  The company’s first packet processor to feature PCI Express, with four lanes of PCI Express bus providing high speed communication with the host, the WANic 5434 is a powerful yet thermally efficient device.  It features the high performance 500MHz Cavium OCTEON™ Plus 6-core MIPS64™-based CN5434-NSP processor.  Designed to attain the quality and reliability requirements for NEBS compliance, the WANic 5434 will receive its first public showing at NXTcomm (June 16 – 19, Las Vegas Convention Center). 
 
“The deployment of applications featuring secure IP communications and multi-gigabit packet processing continues to grow, and the announcement of the WANic 5434 further reinforces our strong product offering in this area,” said Rubin Dhillon, Global Director of Communications Product Management at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.  “This is our first PCI Express packet processor, and extends still further our leadership in packet processing and the wide range of options we are able to offer our customers.”
 
At the heart of the WANic 5434 is the 500MHz OCTEON Plus 6-core CN5434-NSP processor which enables packet inspection at layers 2-7 for secure high-speed connectivity and complex security processing with wire speed performance (up to 4Gbits/second).  The company plans to implement other 5400 family processors on the board in the future to enable support for an even broader range of applications.  Compute-intensive tasks are off-loaded from the host CPU to keep line rates high. Its power requirements are low, at around 25 watts.   The board supports 1 GByte of DDR2 packet memory (implemented using VLP mini-RDIMM modules).  Four front panel access ports of 1000BaseT (RJ-45 connectors) or 1000BaseSX (fiber SFP transceivers) Gigabit Ethernet are available.   
 
Support for Debian Linux is provided: other operating system support may be available on request.  A comprehensive development package – including U-Boot loader and POST and a Linux Support Package (LSP) – is available, simplifying development and improving time-to-revenue.
