The Evolving Face of Telecom Processing

　　電信應用的需求使微控制器發展成為相當專業的設計。微控制器以多種不同的方式在電信網絡中使用，從幾種不同的網絡處理器到專用的多協議處理器。

　　由2015年，分析師期望90% of the高興viewed我們移動設備to be流視頻，而應用下載預計將達到四十個十億每年。這是數據驅動的全球交通to Grow十八時報》by 2016年，and as a result the以太網設備市場is set to reach 40.2萬億美元由2015年。

　　移動寬帶的使用你的智能手機的片和連續成長，與網絡從2G過渡/ 3G LTE LTE Advanced and to，運營商需要有效的解決方案的成本和功率backhaul to migrate Legacy系統從基于IP網絡。移動蜂窩網絡之間的交通backhaul移動基站與有線網絡的核心，and are under日益增加的壓力，你的移動寬帶業務不斷成長。

　　All of this is putting increasing strain on the telecom infrastructure to deliver the processing power to handle all the data within the design constraints of the network. Power consumption is an increasingly important factor， as higher performance devices that are designed to handle the higher data rates also generate more heat. For the line cards in telecom systems， this is a major issue as cooling of the routers is a key cost for operators， and increased heat also reduces the reliability. For networks that have to be available 24 hours a day， 365 days a year， reliability is a key design issue.

　　All this necessitates a new generation of network processors， optimized for the handling of large amounts of data with the lowest possible power consumption. Multi-core designs are increasingly popular， with more functions， previously seen in enterprise networks， now becoming vital in the telecom infrastructure. Traditional telecom networks increasingly have to support the mobile phone networks and the vast amounts of new data being carried， so there is a rising demand for network processing functions through a typical network.
