CommAgility has announced the AMC-K2L-RF2, a low-cost, high performance ARM and DSP based processing card which includes two integrated wideband RF transceiver channels, all in the compact Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor.
The new module can be deployed in a range of operating environments, including high density MicroTCA racks for C-RAN architectures, and as a standalone system with the optional Micro Carrier card providing I/O, power and cooling.
This enables product development to start at minimal capital expenditure, while providing a platform capable of full deployment at low cost. The main processor is the Texas Instruments (TI) TCI6630K2L System-on-Chip (SoC), part of TI’s new KeyStone II generation of DSP and ARM-based SoCs.
A flexible range of I/O is provided to the TCI6630K2L SoC, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe and CPRI, providing connectivity to networks, host processors and additional RF.
