Wintegra Processor Families
Wintegra is the #1 provider of access processors and has several processor families well suited for a wide range of Access Infrastructure systems. The first generation of these devices included WinPath1 and WinArrow1 which offer between 1 and 4 engines and an integrated MIPS 5Kc microprocessor core. The second generation includes WinPath2, WinArrow2 and WinMax. The second generation devices offer from 2 to 6 engines and an integrated MIPS 24Kc microprocessor core.
The WinPath1 is the industry's first Access Processor and has been in production since 2002. WinPath1 is used in applications such as wireless infrastructure, DSL and PON systems, and multi-service cards including access routers.
The WinArrow1 is a derivative family that is based on the WinPath1 architecture. WinArrow1 is specifically focused on DSL line card applications.
The WinPath2 doubled performance of the WinPath1 and added many new features such as more Gigabit Ethernet ports and Fast Ethernet ports, new higher speed UTOPIA/POS interfaces and integrated IPsec security acceleration. WinPath2 is used in applications such as wireless infrastructure, and multi-service cards including access routers.
The WinArrow2 is a derivative family of WinPath2 that targets DSL line card, PON multi-dwelling unit and Carrier Grade Ethernet applications.
The WinMax is a new family also based on WinPath2 that specifically targets WiMax base stations: transport cards, radio access cards, and combined pico base stations.
The WinIP is a new family of devices that specifically targets Carrier Grade Ethernet applications.
WinPath3 is the third generation processor from Wintegra. It provides 5 times the performance of the WinPath2 family and support for 10 GbE connectivity. For Control path processing dual MIPS 34Kc processors are available running up to 650 MHz.
The latest processor in the WinPath family is the WinPath3-SuperLite. Designed for high performance, cost sensitve applications like Mobile Backhaul, it leverages the production quality software of the earlier WinPath families enabling rapid development of high volume telecom systems.
