EmergeCore Networks Goes From Concept to Product in Seven Months With Help From the Intel Media Switch IXE2412 10/100 Device and Embedded Intel Architecture

Overview

As broadband access becomes more of a commodity, Internet service providers and local exchange carriers are shifting their focus from merely providing a high-speed Internet connection to the enhanced revenue potential of value-added services. The problem for carriers and service providers is how to deliver new multiple high-bandwidth services to a large population of end-users, without saturating the network. To solve this problem, EmergeCore Networks has created a mesh network that integrates the EC Reactor Open IP Services Platform. This innovative design is based on the combination of the Intel Media Switch IXE2412 10/100 Device and an embedded Intel architecture design that features the Intel Pentium III processor and other building blocks.
