KAT4000 is a single slot Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA®, ATCA™) carrier with up to four Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC) 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.

The KAT4000 features on-board Ethernet and PCI Express switches for the AdvancedMC Common Options Region , where the majority of control plane data flows and a flexible modular Fat Pipe Switch (FPS) to address data plane traffic in the AdvancedMC Fat Pipes Region. 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 optional 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 is an intelligent Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). It 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.
