AdvancedTCA µTCA AdvancedMC Packaging Solutions

AdvancedTCA stands for Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture and is the first standard among manufacturers and applications for very high data traffic and new communications services in the telecommunications sector. AdvancedTCA was adopted in December 2002 by the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computers Manufacturing Group). AdvancedTCA boards are capable of transporting, processing and analyzing large volumes of data at the speeds required by today's applications…. MicroTCA stands for Micro Telecom Computing Architecture and is a modular standard for small, flexible system solutions. Its high scalability allows the application to be perfectly adapted to various requirements. For this reason, MicroTCA is being used increasingly in both telecommunica- tions and all other areas of application. MicroTCA was adopted by the PICMG in 2006…. AdvancedMC stands for Advanced Mezzanine Card and is an important component of the AdvancedTCA platform. The specification was agreed by the PICMG in 2004. AdvancedMC modules are compact, versatile modules that extend the performance of AdvancedTCA systems and are installed using corresponding adapters, AdvancedMC carriers, to AdvancedTCA systems. AdvancedMC modules are also used in conjunction with the recently defined MicroTCA systems. Here, however, they are plugged in directly (without carrier) and are simultaneously boards for MicroTCA.
