	Title:	CommAgility’s AdvancedMC module provides multicore DSP and FPGA performance for WiMAX and LTE ( 1247)
	Summary	AMC-3C87F includes optical CPRI/OBSAI antenna interfaces and SRIO, and provides extensive software support
	Main Text	CommAgility announced today the AMC-3C87F, a single width Advanced Mezzanine Card which provides a mix of multicore DSP and FPGA processing power together with flexible, high bandwidth I/O connectivity. This makes it ideal for wireless baseband, test and other processing-intensive applications such as WiMAX and Long Term Evolution of 3GPP (LTE). For use in MicroTCA or AdvancedTCA systems, the module includes three Texas Instruments TCI6487 multi-core DSPs running at 1GHz to provide a high-performance DSP resource. It also provides a Xilinx Virtex-5 SX95T FPGA for interfacing and DSP co-processing. Dual front-panel optical SFP sockets are provided for industry-standard CPRI and OBSAI links to wireless radio heads, units under test or other optical data links such as Ethernet backhaul. Flexible sync options include a GPS or other reference clock, or the optical links themselves.
