ATCA: The Architecture of Tomorrow's Telecom Systems Online Meeting

Get with Unstrunc, AMCC, BATM Telco Systems, Intel & Motorola and Earlswood Marketing on Wednesday, September 01, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. EDT for this action packed online meeting.

In-Stat / MDR expects the percentage of capex spent on equipment based on standardized chassis to grow to 15 percent by 2008, from just 1 percent in 2003. A significant portion of this growth will come from AdvancedTCA-based systems. The introduction of AdvancedTCA components and systems creates a new and significant opportunity for semiconductor vendors, chassis and backplane vendors, telecom blade manufacturers, and networking system vendors to expand their businesses and bring down system costs.

For many network equipment manufacturers, the switching architecture and chassis has been a core technology traditionally designed and manufactured in-house. The introduction of AdvancedTCA chassis, blades, and switch cards makes this standardized approach a viable option for even high-performance systems, leading RHK to forecast this market to reach $3.7 billion by 2007.

Light Reading has commissioned an in-depth report on this subject from Simon Stanley, founder and principal consultant of Earlswood Marketing. A preview of this report will be aired during this online meeting.

The presentation will:

1. Set the scene by identifying market trends driving the demand for standardized chassis
2. Put the subject into context by examining AdvancedTCA and related technologies such as PCI Express and Advanced Switching
3. Review developments from leading chip, blade, and systems vendors describing the key features to look for
