Altera Corporation
ALTR today announced it has agreed to acquire TPACK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Micro Circuits Corporation
AMCC. TPACK
delivers complete FPGA-based OTN (optical transport network) products
targeting packet and optical networking equipment suppliers. The
acquisition enables Altera to accelerate and expand its OTN solutions
roadmap to support the increasing pipeline of customer designs resulting
from Altera's successful acquisition in 2010 of Avalon Microelectronics, a
leading OTN IP provider. Combining TPACK with Altera's current OTN
development team positions Altera for continued growth in FPGA-based IP
solutions for the OTN equipment market, which is forecast to reach $13B by
2017, according to research firm Infonetics.
TPACK develops OTN solutions in the form of SoftSilicon(R) technology to
provide mapping, multiplexing and cross-connection of packets over an OTN
network and pioneered standard chipset solutions similar to ASSPs, yet
targeting FPGAs. SoftSilicon products are available today on Altera FPGAs
and have been in production for years. TPACK products have successfully
displaced ASSPs at leading OEMs at 10-Gbps, 40-Gbps and 100-Gbps. The
acquisition of TPACK bolsters Altera's portfolio of OTN solutions, including
cost-optimized 20-Gbps OTN mappers for Metro applications and 10 x 10 Gbps
OTN Cross-Connect using partial reconfiguration for Packet-Optical Transport
Systems.
