The AdvancedTCA Summit will bring together vendors and end users to learn about the current state of Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA®), the emerging standard platform for telecommunications equipment. Attending AdvancedTCA Summit puts you in-the-know about creating standard-based telecom equipment, reducing equipment cost and development time, making equipment more flexible and more maintainable.
This power-packed, 3-day event will cover current topics in AdvancedTCA. Get the latest from leaders in the field on: Real Solutions, COTS, Rugged MicroTCA, interoperability, power considerations, WiMax, and more!
Visit Actel and Pigeon Point Systems at Booth #305.

At the Pigeon Point Systems booth, #305, you will find information on market-leading management solutions from Pigeon Point Systems and Actel. View a hands-on demonstration of a management solution for ATCA boards and AdvancedMC™ carriers based on Actel Fusion® mixed-signal FPGAs. The management solution includes schematics, FPGA designs, firmware, bench top hardware (shown below), and comprehensive documentation for a Fusion-based IPM Controller and Carrier IPMC.

xTCA SlotFest: Multi-Vendor Interoperability Demonstration
This live demonstration on the exhibit floor will show at least six ATCA shelves and four MicroTCA shelves, each with a mix of different vendor boards and modules installed, showing interoperability in the TCA ecosystem at the mechanical, management, and application levels. The management subsystems in the majority of the components in this collection are Pigeon Point shelf level or board level management components.
