RCP HLR

Based on the same hardware: A836x

– multiprocessor (with common memory)

– multitasking
– protected (hardware and software redundancy)
– modular (application-dependent configurations)
– does not incorporate hardware for circuit switching
– supports the SS7,X.25 and TCP/IP communication
protocols (included in the operating system, RTOS)
