SBS Technologies Announces New AdvancedMC T1/E1/J1 WAN I/O Modules for Convergent Telecommunication Networks

Business Wire, June 7, 2005

CHICAGO -- SBS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:SBSE):

Telum(TM) 628-TEJ 8-port and Telum 624-TEJ 4-port T1/E1/J1 AdvancedMC(TM) modules offer advanced features at competitive pricing

--4 or 8 full duplex ports maintain full line rate

--AdvancedMC (AMC) single width, extended full-height with x1 PCI Express interface

--Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and on-board CSU/DSU

--I-TDM support for transporting multiplexed voice over Internet Protocol (IP)

Today, at SuperComm(R) 2005, SBS Technologies(R) (NASDAQ:SBSE), a leading designer and manufacturer of modular communications solutions, continues its role as an embedded telecommunications industry market leader by introducing the newest members of its Telum AdvancedMC WAN I/O line - the Telum 624- and 628-TEJ T1/E1/J1 WAN I/O modules with I-TDM. The 4-port Telum 624-TEJ and the 8-port Telum 628-TEJ offer fully-channelized T1/E1/J1 interfaces, and convenient port accessibility using standard RJ-48C cables.

"The Telum 624/628-TEJ modules with I-TDM enable our customers to build highly integrated systems that can efficiently transport voice traffic over carrier grade IP centric switch fabrics," said Rubin Dhillon, General Manager of SBS Communications products. "What this means to our customers is that they can now reduce their price per port costs while building converged voice, data and video applications."

The Telum 624/628-TEJ AdvancedMC WAN I/O modules are high performance 4-port (624-TEJ) or 8-port (628-TEJ) T1/E1/J1 modules designed for high availability telecommunication access applications. These extended full-height modules feature 4 or 8 independent, fully protected, full duplex ports. The x4 PCI Express serial fabric interface is used as the central data and control transport medium. The Telum 624/628-TEJ supports a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) Bus which is used to encapsulate TDM packets into IP packets for transport through 2 Gigabit Ethernet GMII serial fabric interfaces.

The Telum 624/628-TEJ implements a highly scalable architecture providing I-TDM (Internal-Time Division Multiplex) services that enable multiplexed voice over IP, using hardware, and is compliant to the PICMG(R) I-TDM Specification. There are two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) GMII serial fabric interfaces providing high speed transport to the AdvancedMC backplane. The second GE port can be used for redundancy. The Telum 624/628-TEJ gives customers a unique, high performance T1/E1/J1 WAN I/O solution for AdvancedTCA(R) and MicroTCA(TM) systems.

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and on-board CSU/DSU supplies AdvancedMC-compliant IPMI system management and network line management. The on-board CSU/DSU offloads the CPU host by performing line management in hardware. The Telum 624/628-TEJ also supports module hot swap to enable high availability applications.

The Telum 624/628 TEJ supports standard Carrier Grade Linux(R) and VxWorks(R) operating systems and ships with compatible drivers including a DDK (Driver Development Kit).

Price and Availability:

Available now, pricing in OEM quantities for the 8-port Telum 628-TEJ is US$849. OEM pricing for the 4-port Telum 624-TEJ is US$645.
