The LSUv3 is a high performance multiprocessor system based on the Compact
PCI (cPCI) bus. It uses a pool of Intel (single/multi core) processor cards (PPU Controllers and
Slave Processing Units) to provide the needed processing power.
SCC (Serial Communication Controller) cards provide specialised processing
for TDM channels.
E1/T1 PCM Line cards, and STM-1/OC-3 ATM, STM-1 SDM (channelised) and
Ethernet interface cards provide connectivity.
Commercial cPCI cards can be added for special applications.
