Beryllium is designed for flexible, low cost, high functionality, high performance products.
Its interfaces allow Ethernet connectivity at the corporate office, ADSL high-speed remote access from home and 56KBps access on the road. It also controls a physical DMT processor that acts as a modulator, encryptor and data pump. With an additional V.90 AFE, analog modem capability is added. It handles both ATM cells and Ethernet frames and may be used as a gateway or ATM access device. The BD 4000 is the development reference platform for Beryllium, providing a wealth of hardware and software debug tools to assist partners in rapid development and deployment of their products.
