wide variety of low-to-mid range telecom applications
79610-5002 Development Chassis
The Micro Telecommunications and Computing
Architecture (MicroTCA) is emerging as an attractive
form factor for low-end equipment such as cellular
base stations and access equipment. MicroTCA uses
many of the features found in Advanced TCA (ATCA)
such as high-speed serial signaling, a robust command
and control architecture and redundancy features that
allow it to achieve 99.999% availability.
MicroTCA uses Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) with
a passive backplane. One or more MicroTCA control
hubs (MCHs) provide the chassis management as well
as switching functionality. The small size and simplicity
of MicroTCA systems keep the cost down, making the
system a good alternative for cost-sensitive applications
in access, base stations and other similar systems. It is
possible to remotely access a MicroTCA chassis via an
Ethernet port for system reconfiguration and updating.
