PDFMSP4000 Multi-Service Processor MSP for VoIP Gateways with Integrated Secure Router Short Form Data Sheet [44 KB] PMC-2041690 2004-10-27 

Features

GENERAL

The MSP4000 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 MSP4000 is ideal for designing VoIP Gateways for small businesses, professional telecommuters, and branch offices. The MSP4000 is a highly affordable solution for up to eight ports of derived voice. This Multi-Service Processor provides a migration path from legacy IAD voice services using time division multiplexing over T1 services to next generation voice over broadband services.

The MSP4000 is also designed to meet the performance requirements of firewall applications and provides an additional Ethernet MAC for a dedicated DMZ port. An integrated encryption engine enables high-performance VPN services expected by telecommuters and remote offices.

To reduce time-to-market, PMC-Sierra offers comprehensive support for the MSP4000, including evaluation boards, software, application engineering support, training, and documentation that together accelerate the product development process. In addition, the MSP4000 supports Linux, VxWorks, or custom operating systems.
