Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) is a collaboration of major telecom OEMs and suppliers to create an optimal expansion platform for AdvancedTCA or proprietary baseboards that addresses major bandwidth, availability, field upgradeability, cost, scalability, management and interoperability issues.

KosaiPM is an AMC module based on the Intel Pentium-M processor, providing a complete processor subsystem. It is designed to allow communication equipment manufacturers to add modular and upgradeable compute functionality to their AdvancedTCA or proprietary baseboards and provide the localized horsepower necessary for applications such as protocol processing, packet processing, data management and I/O management.

To support high-speed packet data transfers on and off the card, KosaiPM features both PCI Express and dual GBit Ethernet interfaces to the baseboard. With everincreasing application and data transfer requirements, this combination of more traditional GBit Ethernet interfaces and the emerging PCI Express interface allows developers to easily migrate existing applications to PCI Express.

KosaiPM is hot-swappable, which allows modules to be replaced by operators or service organizations in the field without bringing down an entire AdvancedTCA blade or system. This reduces spares costs and mean-time-to-repair (MTTR), lowering both CAPEX and OPEX. KosaiPM also provides an IPMI-based system management interface, which enables operators to pinpoint and fix problems at the module level, also lowering MTTR and OPEX.
