R 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. AdvancedMC stands for Advanced Mezzanine Card and is an important component of the AdvancedTCA platform. The specification was...

AdvancedTCA ֖ the PICMG 3.0 specification. Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture AdvancedTCA ֖ is the first specification for scaleable network architectures (carrier-grade systems), standardized among manufacturers and applications, to employ the cutting-edge switched-fabric technology. Alongside the system platform, the mechanical specification, power supply, cooling, system management and backplane topologies are all defined. Faster and more efficiently to market. AdvancedTCA chassis and boards can be easily combined with one another, allowing you straight away to create the most...

Everything a system needs. Schroff's AdvancedTCA systems make the development of new, forward-looking telecommunications installations with high data-processing rates as simple for you as possible. We offer everything on the basis of the AdvancedTCA specification that you have come to expect from a Schroff complete system: superb physical construction, optimal cooling, reliable power supplies, efficient data distribution and secure system manage-ment. Sometimes this is still not enough: our complete systems are, of course, also available in shock and vibration-proof versions with UL...

On the advance in many markets. MicroTCA systems are attractive for any situation in which an AdvancedTCA system would be overspecified. They are thus gaining popularity in industrial automation, image processing and medical and defence technology applications. Many versatile applications are possible using various system designs, from very small, simply equipped two-slot systems to systems with full redundancy and remote monitoring. Small, flexible, high performance. In order to provide a standard platform right to the access/edge areas of telecommunications networks, the PICMG֮ MicroTCA...

As contributors to the PICMG AdvancedMC.0 specifica-tion we have brought years of experience in developing AdvancedTCA mechanics and translated the very high demands of the specification into products of high technical quality. Our AdvancedMC modules impress with their fully-developed components with excellent finish, high accuracy of...

AdvancedTCA: High data volumes. High availability. AdvancedTCA applications are to be found in the core areas of telecom-munications networks - situations in which extremely high data volumes must be processed with almost 100 % availability. Leading equipment manufacturers and service providers worldwide are now opting for platforms based on the open AdvancedTCA specification.The processing of high data volumes calls for enormous computing power. The result is a high heat loss (specified in the standard as up to 200 W per board). We think ahead and offer our customers a high margin of...

AdvancedMC + MicroTCA = A revolution in many markets > Attractive for many applications. High speed and high availability, scaleable infrastructure, a compact form factor with AdvancedMC modules, system management including remote diagnosis and robust construction make MicroTCA an attractive option for many areas of application beyond telecommunications. Medical technologySecurity technology Industrial automationDefence technologyTransport applications Image processing The MicroTCA Industry Cube. A possible configuration for a MicroTCA-based industrial system comprises a CPU card, hard disk...

All components working optimally together. Members of the AdvancedTCA/MicroTCA Working Group meet regularly for so-called Interoperability Workshops (AIW/MIW) to test the interaction of their products, such as boards, software, chassis and shelf management systems and to gain new knowledge that can be used to refine the standard. Schroff hosted one of these workshops in the USA and the first European workshop took place at Schroff's premises in Germany. The measure of all things. Hidden in each of our solutions is the knowledge gathered in over 40 years of development, manufacturing and...
