AdvancedTCA (ATCA, PICMG3.0) is the consummate open architecture telecom platform and the KatanaQp is the ultimate configurable ATCA telecom blade. It features a two-way symmetric multi-processing (SMP) architecture with dual PowerPC MPC7448 processors and a full complement of I/O for communications applications.

KatanaQp's PCI Telephony Mezzanine Card (PTMC, PICMG 2.15, VITA 32) expansion sites give telecom OEMs, who want to get started with ATCA today, instant access to a wealth of third party PMC modules. This off-the-shelf expansion capability makes it easy to configure the KatanaQp for a wide variety of control and packet processing applications, including WAN access, SS7/SIGTRAN signaling, media gateways, traffic processing, wireless base station controllers and softswitches.

In telecom network elements, system management is essential. KatanaQp is an intelligent FRU and implements a redundant System Management Bus (SMB). It also fully supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) with AdvancedTCA extensions to support standards-based shelf management.

Using an off-the-shelf processor blade saves you time-to-market by allowing you to focus your engineering efforts on the key value add portions of the system without spending time and effort on the processor design and testing. A processor subsystem blade also lowers your lifetime cost of ownership by providing an easy upgrade path and protecting you from obsolescence issues.

Katana is a Japanese word for ‘sword’. Emerson’s Katana family of processor blades embodies the power and swiftness of this sword.
