Press Release - PT AMP5072

This high performance, small footprint, 1U MicroTCA platform is highly tuned for wireless applications such as LTE eNodeB and EPC solutions, as well as WiMAX base station and ASN/CSN solutions. LTE and WiMAX Base stations are expected to grow profoundly in number over the next few years.

The AMP5072 is an Application-Ready System and is a highly reliable, high-performance, and highly integrated 1U MicroTCA®-compliant platform that maximises payload slot density in a 1U form factor. Application-Ready Systems offer a highly integrated and comprehensive COTS-based hardware and software solution to rapidly develop and deploy value-added capabilities to embedded applications for demanding operating environments such as wireless, telecom, aerospace, and defence. The integrated Serial RapidIO® switch provides high performance interconnectivity for AMC payload such as embedded processors, FPGAs, and DSPs, as well as dual uplinks to chain systems together.

The AMP5072 supports up to six AdvancedMC module payload slots in a 1U shelf. High reliability is achieved with redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays. Its cost-effective and innovative architecture integrates non-payload functions, such as the Ethernet switch, Serial RapidIO switch, and carrier/shelf manager into the rear of the chassis, thus eliminating the high overhead costs associated with standard MCH modules. The AMP5072 features dual 1 GbE Ethernet to each slot plus quad uplinks, and the Serial RapidIO switch supports one 4x port to four slots, dual 4x ports to two slots, and dual 4x uplinks. Storage is accommodated by direct SATA/SAS slot-to-slot connections between the AMC sites. A comprehensive suite of system management interfaces also increase availability and reduce cost-of-ownership when systems are deployed.
