Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture

In July 2006 the MTCA.0 R1.0 specification was ratified by the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacture Group). MicroTCA (Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture) was designed as a compact solution for flexible and cost-critical applications. AdvancedMC modules are plugged directly into a backplane without a carrier card. MicroTCA stands out due to its very small design, but also due to its high scalability and clearly reduced system costs. The compact design with a depth of 200 mm allows a variable installation in 300 mm deep enclosures or instrument cases and wall-mounted enclosures. The advantages of MicroTCA extend beyond the telecommunications market, to medical technology, safety engineering or industrial automation etc
