Accelerate your 5G and NFV Workloads with Intel PAC and Netcope P4

Did you know, Netcope P4 supports Intel® FPGA PAC N3000?

Netcope P4 compiles the packet processing program written in open-standard P4 language into 100 Gbps FPGA firmware, allowing unprecedented flexibility and rapid development of high-speed network applications.

It offers a revolutionary way for programmable network adapters to be easily programmed using P4 language without expert knowledge of hardware architecture, which can significantly save money when hiring dedicated firmware designers. It also shortens time-to-market, avoiding lengthy firmware development cycles.

Using the Arria 10 FPGA, now in mass production, Intel® FPGA PAC N3000 is the platform of choice for the acceleration of many bandwidth and latency-sensitive virtualised network applications, such as vRAN, vEPC, vBNG and others. Netcope P4 brings the possibilities for this card to a whole new level. Instead of tedious and error-prone HDL coding, the card can be programmed in the open-standard P4 language.

Netcope P4 is now specifically optimised to take advantage of the N3000 unique features, offering large capacities of lookups in off-chip DDR memories and achieving line-rate packet processing with low latency and resource utilization. With Netcope P4 and N3000, your fully custom 100 Gbps packet processor built with COTS hardware is just hours away.

How to Build 5G Networks - Netcope Technologies

Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks are a significant topic in the acceleration of mobile networks.

Networks are gradually being upgraded with 5G equipment to replace existing 4G technologies. With this upgrade comes an expectation from users for a significant increase of network traffic data speed, but this creates a big challenge for operators... It's just not that easy to accelerate something twenty times!

Victor Puš, CTO Netcope Technologies, has written an easy to digest article about the specifics of building 5G networks.

Find out more about Netcope Technologies.


Article:

"Fifth generation mobile networks are a big theme of today. Users obviously hope for quicker data rates from 5G. There is a promise of up to 20 Gbps, which is about twenty times more than the theoretical speed of the current 4G networks.

On the other hand, telcos are scared of the costs of the upgrade of their networks. After all, to accelerate something twenty times is not that easy. At this point, public discussion is mostly led by new frequencies and about territorial coverage with the 5G signal. But equally, if not more difficult technical battle will be fought backstage, particularly about the aggregation of user traffic and its connection to the Internet from the telco network."

September 2018 - Netcope Technologies Announces the Appointment of Sarsen Technology Ltd as UK Distributor

As you may have seen in the news this week and across social media, the team at Sarsen Technology Limited is very excited to be working with Netcope Technologies as their exclusive sales and marketing partner in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

If you haven't heard of Netcope Technologies they are about to make a big splash here in the UK.

Based in Brno in the Czech Republic, Netcope specialises in high-performance networking solutions, including state-of-the-art FPGA technology for packet capture, network packet processing (NPP) and low-latency trading applications.


Nigel Norman, Managing Director of Sarsen Technology Limited added, “The embedded FPGA market is changing fast as FPGA technology becomes ever more widely adopted. Our customers, especially in the cyber security, networking and financial trading markets, are looking for more complete solutions from Sarsen Technology rather than just FPGA hardware and software drivers".

Netcope Technologies has innovative, exciting and customer-proven FPGA solutions that have our engineering team chomping at the bit. Their 200GBPS Ethernet adapter will give our networking product customers a significant processing boost, and Netcope’s P4 smart NIC programming solution will rapidly change the way that network data plane processing is achieved.

FinTech customers won't miss out either - Netcope's wire speed packet capture processing is a game changer for low-latency packet processing and the low latency financial trading solution, Tradecope, is a powerful solution for our high frequency trading customers.

We are looking forward to busy but exciting times ahead!
