MicroTCA™: Compact, Flexible,
Economical Shelf Architecture for Telecom Systems
Abstract: MicroTCA (Micro Telecommunications
Computing Architecture or MTCA.0) is an open system-level chassis
specification developed by PICMG (PCI Manufacturers Group) for
low-cost, small-form-factor utilizing AdvancedMC modules plugged
directly into a backplane. MicroTCA is defined to be complementary
to AdvancedTCA targeting edge and access applications, customer
premises equipment (CPE) and other applications where cost and
size are major constraints including: data centers, industrial
control and medical. Emerson Network Power’s Embedded Computing
business continues to take an active role in the Primmer subcommittee.
It is an early MicroTCA technology provider, and is fully engaged
in helping drive the specification in making it a reality for the
telecom space

Product Testing: Creating Meaningful
Test Data for Our Customers
Abstract: As Emerson
Network Power Embedded Computing creates more complex
products, and as the rules and regulations governing the operation
of those products become more diverse, challenges will arise
as to how to test our products to ensure that the needs of our
customers are met. To be ready for these challenges, Emerson
Network Power Embedded Computing’s regulatory department
must stay a step ahead and work with various groups to find innovative
ways to effectively test our products and meet new and existing
standards—maintaining a reliable end product of superior
quality and performance.

Demonstrating Software Reliability
Abstract: The terms “Reliability”, “High
Availability” and “Carrier Grade” have become
common in the context of communications equipment in particular,
and the broader context of Embedded Systems as a whole. In many
cases, the terms are used synonymously, which is confusing – as
they are quite distinct.

Introduction to Sigtran
Abstract: Sigtran is a working group of the IETF, formed in 1999, and tasked with defining an architecture for the transport of real-time signaling data over IP networks. Its work culminated in not just the architecture, but also the definition of a suite of protocols to carry SS7 and ISDN messages over IP. This protocol suite is made up of a new transport layer – the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) – and a set of User Adaptation (UA) layers which mimic the services of the lower layers of SS7 and ISDN.

Bundled Solutions: A White Paper
Abstract: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are facing tough times ahead as they strive to improve their businesses. Core to this are the ’Make versus Buy’ decisions they face during every new product development. A significant trend is emerging towards the ’Buy’ decision, resulting in the outsourcing for new technology.
