BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE) - March 11, 2008 - The Communications Platforms Trade Association (CP-TA) today announced that CP-TA member companies Continuous Computing, Kontron and RadiSys have upgraded their membership to the Sponsor level. The increased participation of these leading AdvancedTCA vendors demonstrates their active dedication to achieving CP-TA's vision of a mainstream market for interoperable standards-based communications platforms that enable cost-efficient communications infrastructure solutions.
"These companies are demonstrating their support for the AdvancedTCA ecosystem by upgrading their membership levels with CP-TA. Our interoperability documents will help vendors bring interoperable AdvancedTCA products to market faster, which benefits the ecosystem as a whole," said Shlomo Pri-Tal, CP-TA Chairman. "I'd like to welcome these members to the CP-TA board and look forward to the achievements we can make together."
"As a leader in AdvancedTCA, RadiSys recognizes the importance of open standards-based architecture and the benefits it brings to our customers," said Todd Etchieson, vice president of Communications Networking Product Management.

It is a strong ecosystem with vendors focusing on their key competency providing the freedom of choice for best-of-breed products," explained Sven Freudenfeld, CP-TA Marketing Workgroup Chair and Telecom Business Development Manager, Kontron.
