Eric.. indeed... the 12xT1 / E1 controller struck me as QUITE odd... i bet this is more for a small router... Actually, it would fit perfectly for a BTS / Node B router (to carry 2G and 3G cellular traffic back to the operator's central office). All the encryption accelerators only help with that...
Pretty weird choice of ports IMHO.. but interesting. Yet, as you mention, nothing close of a MID or consumer electronics... Man.. there's even a CAN bus!
Agreed, we'll probably have to wait for Moorestown until Intel SoCs are usable in mids.
The 80579 is the kind of thing you'd put in a multifunction router/firewall/ssl accelerator/ipsec gateway/voip box and possibly other network appliances that would need 3*GigE and a decent cpu.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Embedded, yes, MID's... I don't think so.
No embedded video, no ram, no wifi, no cell data, but 3 GigE controllers and a T1 controller.
I doubt this will be used in any MID's.
