AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA
Are open architectures standardized by more than 100 members of PICMG for next generation telecommunications. Yamaichi Electronics supports the industry´s hottest standards with its CN074 & CN080 Series.

PICMG (PCI Industrial Computers Manufactures Group)
PICMG is a U.S.-based consortium where more than 600 computer, telecommunications and related manufacturers participate to develop open architectures including AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA.

AdvancedMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card)
AdvancedMC are the primary component of AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA that provides these
systems with functional elements such as telecom connectivity, processors and mass-storage.
The Hot-Swappable feature allows you to install or uninstall the cards directly from the front of AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA shelf without turning off power.

AdvacedTCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture)
AdvancedTCA is a new series of specifications developed by PICMG for carrier-grade telecom applications. With cutting-edge high-speed inter connect technology and processors introduced, the AdvancedTCA system provides core applications with high reliability, availability and serviceability.
An AdvancedTCA shelf accepts 14 AdvancedTCA Carrier Boards (blades) and each board accepts up to eight AdvancedMC´s. By merely installing or uninstalling AdvancedMCs on/from the boards,
you can easily manage the configuration of your AdvancedTCA system.

MicroTCA (Micro Telecom Computing Architecture)
MicroTCA is a series of specifications developed by PICMG to incorporated the key elements of AdvancedTCA for physically smaller edge applications that AdvancedTCA may not apply.
