Will ‘new kid on the block’ MicroTCA be mature enough to eventually outgrow its older ATCA sibling?

Born and bredThe telecommunications market is undergoing a dynamic period, where customers and vendors alike are demanding the optimum combination of features to keep design complexity and costs to a minimum. This demand saw the birth, in 2002, of the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) standard.
The primary goal of ATCA was to create a scaleable architecture that balanced performance and cost for high performance, high power telecom networking applications. Since its release, ATCA has gained acceptance by telecom OEMs, with some planning to base the next generation of telecom networks on it. But, to cover all network applications, ATCA needed a ‘smaller brother’ – so the MicroTCA standard was born.
