The Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA®) specifications are a series of PICMG specifications which target the requirements for the next generation of carrier grade communications equipment. Based on PICMG 3.X specifications, AdvancedTCA solutions incorporate the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next-generation processors that support high reliability, availability and serviceability.Compatible with established technologies, the AdvancedTCA solution ensures multi-vendor interoperability, offering flexibility in applications, in a chassis-based platform. With commitment from top silicon and software vendors, AdvancedTCA architectures are deployed worldwide by a wide range of industries that require a high-performance computing platform including telecommunications, cloud, military, and aerospace.Central to the ATCA architecture is the ATCA switch blade that provides connectivity between ATCA chassis slots and between chassis.
