The future of AdvancedTCA

Jeff Munch, Chair of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group AdvancedTCA Subcommittee, examines whether ATCA has delivered on its promises.

The AdvancedTCA specification was ratified by PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) in December 2002 At that time, ATCA promised to revolutionise the telecomms infrastructure by providing high performance, cost effective, standards based platforms that could be provided by multiple vendors

The goal of ATCA was to eliminate the proprietary platforms that existed, reduce development time and reduce development costs.

Has ATCA delivered on its promise? What are the lessons learned over the last two years? And what does the future hold for ATCA?.

Since the introduction of ATCA, we have seen several carriers announce support for ATCA in next generation platforms.
