Features

GENERAL

The MSP2006 belongs to a full family of Multi-Service Processors designed to meet the performance, QoS and security needs of communications equipment used within the customer premise. The MSP2006 is an ideal solution for wireless routers and access points. As shown below, it includes a powerful MIPS processor, two 10/100 Ethernet MACs, and a PCI interface.

The MSP2006 provides a new level of price/performance for wireless routers. Its unique systems architecture includes a 4.25 Gbit/s bus, and intelligent context aware DMA engines. Integration of 802.11a, b, and g wireless LANs is easily facilitated through the PCI interface.

To reduce time-to-market, PMC-Sierra offers comprehensive support for the MSP2006, including evaluation boards, software, application engineering support, training, and documentation that together accelerate the product development process. In addition, the MSP2006 supports Linux, VxWorks, or custom operating systems.
