AdvancedTCA, the new carrier grade server and
I/O blades standard, allows telecoms equipment
manufacturers to reduce up their time-to-
market and cut their development costs by
migrating from propriety hardware to open
architecture applications. The modular com-
munications platforms approach allows systems
to achieve high levels of service availability,
scalability and performance.
Benefits of AdvancedTCA
 Scalable shelf capacity to 2.5Tb/s
 System availability up to 99.999%
 Robust power infrastructure and large
cooling capacity
 High levels of modularity and confi gurability
 Ease of integration of multiple functions and
new features
 Convergence of telco access, core, optical,
and datacenter functions
 Full security and regulatory conformance
(NEBS, ETSI)
AMCs: In order to ensure adaptation to various
applications, a corresponding mezzanine con-
cept was developed in the course of ATCA
standardization: The new AMC specifi cation
(Advanced Mezzanine Card, defi ned by the
PICMG committee) adds some important tech-
nical innovations to the PMC model (PCI
Mezzanine Card) in order to achieve, among
other advances, carrier-grade „five nines“
availability at carrier level. AMCs are fl exible,
powerful and simple to integrate into the ATCA
concept. In addition, they can also be employed
on proprietary (manufacturers‘ own) platforms.
Compared to PMCs, AMCs offer following
advantages:
 Hot swappable, front loadable
 High real estate (20% more than PMC)
 High power envelope (up to 60 W per bay)
 High speed serial interconnect based on
LVDS
 Interoperability check with base board
with electronic keying
