About Motorola's PowerQUICC and Security Processors
The PowerQUICC processor family is the industry's most widely used communications processor architecture, with nearly 83 percent market share, according to a May 2003 Gartner Dataquest report. PowerQUICC processors deliver integrated control and forwarding plane functionality for a wide range of customer premises equipment (CPE), access and edge applications, such as digital subscriber line (xDSL) gateways, SOHO and enterprise routers, home networking equipment, wireless access points, wireless base stations, DSL access multiplexers (DSLAMs), telecom switching, and T1/E1 termination equipment. Complementing its PowerQUICC family, Motorola offers the popular S1 family of security co-processors, which work in concert with PowerQUICC processors. S1 security products, including the MPC184 processor, are derived from security technologies that Motorola has developed over the last 30 years. Motorola has also introduced new PowerQUICC processor families that feature integrated security engines, providing a higher level of integration and encryption acceleration.
