Right on 27-29 October, a number of world’s solution providers, consultants, board & system level vendors, equipment manufacturers, standardization bodies, analysts, software companies, computer OEMs, other companies, and partners (more than 100 participants) will meet together at AdvancedTCA Summit 2009 in Santa Clara, California. Some of participants such as Intel Corp, Cisco Systems, Kontron , Emerson Network Power, Sun Microsystems, Crystal Cube Consulting, etc. The Summit is about the use of AdvancedTCA as well as AdvancedMC and MicroTCA as the standard of choice for system designers and architects in developing the next generation networks with wireless-based systems implementation.

It is interesting that the AdvancedTCA standard-based implementation is successfully applied not only in telecom networks, but also in lab research operation, central office applications, medical services integration, and even for military infrastructure. Open standards-based AdvancedTCA is surely reliable to optimize packet-based telecom applications with its very small design, high scalability and flexibility (enhanced by AdvancedMC) by extending its multi-protocol interface, high-bandwidth, to individual hot-swappable modules. See more details about AdvancedTCA specifications from PICMG org including PICMG 3.0, PICMG 3.1, to PICMG 3.4 (Both AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC are trademarks of PICMG).

As free scale technology, AdvancedTCA is designed to simplify configuration, leverage efficiencies, and reduce the power consumption, system implementation cost, and development time. Ultimately, AdvancedTCA as well as AdvancedMC will lower the lifetime cost of ownership and provide a roadmap to future technologies.
