Event Description

ATCA, AMC & MicroTCA 2007: Moving to Deployment - Europe, will take place in Paris, on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, providing attendees with an update on the latest developments, including:

• AdvancedTCA overview
• The roles of MicroTCA and AdvancedMC (AMC)
• The ATCA ecosystem from switching to application-ready platforms
• How to take advantage of the work within the SA Forum, SCOPE, and CPTA to reduce time to market and reduce risk
• Business benefits of using ATCA and common platforms
• ATCA and MicroTCA application examples including IMS, wireless infrastructure, and WiMax

The market is moving into a new phase as carriers start deploying AdvancedTCA-based systems and vendors introduce second- and third-generation systems. This conference will cover ATCA, AMC, and MicroTCA closely exploring several key trends:

• Building the Platform
  The growing ecosystem and typical platform components, including ATCA blades, AdvancedMC modules, and MicroTCA. We review the switching fabric options, including 10-Gigabit Ethernet, examine the interoperability challenges, and complete the platform with a look at the recent developments from the Service Availability Forum, SCOPE, PICMG Res, and CPTA.
• Deployment Strategies & Future Developments
  The use of ATCA and MicroTCA in a number of leading applications including wireless infrastructure, IMS, communication servers, WiMax, and multiservice access platforms. We also discuss carrier- and vendor-driven deployment strategies and future developments.
