Router 6000 Program, 2014-2016
- Developed the hardware architecture for a portfolio of several router products – from small footprint 30 Gbps cell site routers to large scale 2 Tbps modular high-availability systems. I wrote specifications and requirements in co-operation with international teams working in North-Europe, USA and China. Lot of travel and long distance communications involved. The router HW platform was based on merchant silicon L2/L3 switching devices, FPGA’s and multicore ARM processors. Router software platform was 10M lines of c/c++ code on Linux.
- Did lot of system level studies and cross-organizational co-operation, coordinated product development with product line management and marketing. Was leading several international study teams.
- Did hands-on HW bring-up and hacking work with prototype systems (Linux on ARM).
Router development for Radio Base Station system (RBS6K), 2012 – 2014
- Developed HW architecture for several base station integrated router products, which were based on Network Processors (NPU) and embedded multicore CPU’s.
- Managed the ODM development and manufacturing of a router product done in Taiwan from start to successful completion of the project in 12 months. Managed chip suppliers. Coordinated firmware and low-level software development done at multiple sites and managed HW logistics for prototypes.
