OEM-ready VPN Security Application Datasheet

Freescale and Flextronics Software Systems demonstrate OEM-ready VPN security application

Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL, FSL.B) and Flextronics Software Systems (FSS), formerly Hughes Software Systems, have collaborated to develop a robust enterprise security router solution. This advanced IPSec-VPN-based router solution is powered by Freescale's MPC8555E PowerQUICC III integrated communications processor and FSS’s Enhanced Security System (ESS) software. FSS, a global end-to-end communication solutions provider, is providing the first public demonstration of this router platform solution at the Freescale Technology Forum today in Munich.

“By teaming with Flextronics Software Systems, we are providing enterprise customers with a PowerQUICC III processor-based VPN router platform solution that can be taken to market quickly and with minimal development cost,” said Lynelle McKay, vice president and general manager of Freescale’s Digital Systems Division. “In today’s competitive environment, time-to-market means everything to our customers. That’s why we’re collaborating with a respected leader like Flextronics to deliver such an advanced, market-ready solution.”

Freescale and Flextronics Software Systems have a strong synergy in hardware- and software-based security technology, and both companies are committed to providing robust security solutions for enterprise networks, said Ajay Gupta, assistant vice president and head of products at Flextronics Software Systems.

The high-performance processing engine of the VPN router platform solution is Freescale’s MPC8555 PowerQUICC III communications processor. The MPC8555 is based on the e500 PowerPC core, which is designed to deliver a peak performance of 2310 MIPS at 1 GHz. The processor also integrates a powerful security engine, dual gigabit Ethernet ports, a RISC-based communications processor module (CPM) supporting Ethernet, ATM and TDM, and a DDR memory controller. The MPC8555’s integrated security engine supports DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES and ARC-4 encryption algorithms, along with public key support and a random number generator.
