Emerson's PmPPC7448 is a complete processor subsystem in a very compact, industry standard form factor. It is designed to allow communication equipment manufacturers to add modular and upgradeable functionality to their I/O baseboard. It also provides the localized horsepower necessary for applications such as protocol processing, packet processing, data filtering or I/O management.
Using an off-the-shelf processor subsystem saves you time-to-market by allowing you to focus your engineering efforts on the key value-add portions of the system without spending time and effort on the processor design and testing. A modular processor subsystem also lowers your lifetime cost of ownership by providing an easy upgrade path, and protecting you from obsolescence issues.
