The ATCA (AdvancedTCA) Signaling Blade from TietoEnator is a flexible system consisting of a combination of hardware and signaling software for AdvancedTCA-based systems. ATCA Signaling Blade is designed to meet the extreme requirements on reliability, capacity and scalability, normally required in telecom network core nodes.
The ATCA Signaling Blade is intended for telecom equipment manufacturer, system integrators, application developers and network operators implementing telecom core & radio network connectivity in a ATCA system. The software is optimized for the Intel IA32 architecture, taking advantage of the latest improvements in CPU design.
The main benefit of the ATCA Signaling Blade is the extremely good scalability and reliability achieved by TietoEnator's unique distributed architecture. Other benefits of the solution are very high link capacity, simultaneous support for all types of transport, high performance and ATCA Signaling Blade is designed for high availability.
The telecom industry is today facing very high demands in terms of functionality, capacity and reliability from their customers. On the other hand, there is also a demand on reducing cost and development lead-time. One way of reducing cost and lead-time, while maintaining operating characteristics, is to use a standards-based Modular Communications Platform (MCP). The new Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA) is clearly a big step towards a harmonized and standardized MCP specifically for core telecom products like MSC, GSN and HLR.
TietoEnator strongly believes in standardized building blocks both with regards to hardware and software. By using a standardized platform, telecom equipment manufacturers can rely on TietoEnator and other component suppliers to deliver platform components with the right characteristics. This will lead to lower development costs, shorted lead-time and lower maintenance costs. |
