IXP425+Sigma Based Wireless Media Gateway

Product Overview

Papillon board is a high-performance Access Gateway that utilizes Intel® IXP425 network processor, a highly integrated single-chip processor based on the low power Intel® XScale® core. The PAPILLON platform offers OEMs a standard module to easily customize and upgrade designs with reduced Time-To-Market. The PAPILLON platform demonstrates flexibility and scalability of IXP4xx network processor for wide range of applications including Wireless Residential Gateway with Network Attached Storage and Print Server capability, Video Encoding/Decoding, Security and VPN, and complete VoIP functions.


Application Example

Papillon can be used in Media Gateway applications such as Triple-Play applications .In the example shown here (see figure), the multimedia data received through Wireless Router (WiFi) or LAN or AV-In (VWEB®  VW2005 Encoder) is rendered and processed by a Sigma Design Video Decoder. In such application, the PAPILLON is able to : 1. extend Wireless Router with media server capability, 2. link the broadband WAN to home LAN networks and perform traditional home networking functions, 3. redistribute multimedia contents through wireless network and act as a server.
