AdvancedTCA® (ATCA™, PICMG3.0) is the consummate open architecture telecom platform and the KAT4000-S is the ultimate configurable AdvancedTCA telecom blade. KAT4000-S is a single-slot AdvancedTCA carrier with up to four Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC®) expansion modules. This expansion capability enables a wide variety of control and packet processing applications such as WAN access, traffic processing, signaling gateways, media gateways, and many others.

KAT4000-S features an on-board Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch for the AdvancedMC Common Options Region, where the majority of control plane data flows, and a PCI Express™ (PCIe) switch and flexible, modular Fat Pipe Switch (FPS) to address data plane traffic in the AdvancedMC Fat Pipes Region and to allow for various AdvancedTCA fabric interfaces. The FPS is implemented using a plug-over module, enabling simple maintenance and a rapid upgrade path when a newer switch fabric is required. An on-board processor gives users additional processing power and can be used to off-load system management or OA&M functionality.

In telecom network elements, system management is essential. KAT4000-S is an intelligent Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and implements a redundant System Management Bus (SMB). It also fully supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), allowing it to be monitored by a local shelf management controller or by a remote OA&M system over Ethernet.
